I can't remember
what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember
when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before
I wanted to think there was
endless love
Until I saw the light
dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night
I found out
Sometimes there's love won't survive
New York City
Such a beautiful disease

New York City
Such a beautiful
Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments
Locked up in a box behind her
closet door
She pulled the blinds
and listened to the thunder
With no way out
from the family store
We all told her things
could get better
When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night
Caught in a vision I want to deny
And did I mention
the note that I found
Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets
As it slipped from my hand
to the scuffed tile floor
I rode the train for hours on end
And watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end
Just an action junkie's lullaby
New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful
Such a beautiful disease

We were full of the stuff
that every dream rested
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion
That dreams never pass us by
Came to a tattoed conclusion
That the big one was knocking
on the door
What started as a mass delusion
Would take me far from the
place I adore
New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
You are my beautiful
Such a beautiful disease

I believe
you say
Don't think
we stay
Drawn through the ebb
Lost in the flow
Beneath my breath
I confess
My world
loved less
The devil held the proof
for me to know

I could only fight
for the longest while
But with the truth out baby
I belong to you
I stoop
to find
My place
entwined
I took it to the bottom
one more time
I could only fight
for the longest while
But with the truth out baby
I belong to you
I could trip
and I want you to know
Every time I think that
I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions
I could trip
and I want you to know
Every time I think that
I think I should go
I receive strange
transmissions

I could only fight
for the longest while
But with the truth out baby
I belong to you
I could trip
and I want you to know
Every time I think that
I think I should go
I receive strange
transmissions
I could trip
and I want you to know
Every time I think that
I think I should go
I receive strange
transmissions

I couldn't make a change
I might have known you had found
Another love
I sat at home all night
Bask in the lonely pale
Of my bedstand light

But through a tear in a curtain
In a cheap motel
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours

I saw a black cloud
I didn't hear a sound
Only the shell on the ground
There was a scream somewhere
And in the thick night air
I put the pedal down
As the sirens wailed
And I sat alone and prayed
Not knowing what was to come

But through a tear in a curtain
In a cheap motel
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours

I tried not to believe
Teh scene that I could see
It felt like days passez by
Before I truend away
I felt a dizzy sway
And the gun in my hand
Stood before a judge

He cleared his throat to say
"I won't give you no bail"
Schackled with chains or love
I knew that I had bought
My own coffin nails

I hear your sweet voice calling out my name
As I stare from a six foot cell
And from beyond I heard the words
Deceptively yours
