The Wildwoods - I'll Never Live in New York Lyrics

I'll never live in New York, and if I ran away,
Tell them that I've joined the army.
Cnd if I live out my days, in Brooklyn's alleyways,
Know that I am leaving for no one.
Tell them that I'm leaving for no one.

Four quartered apricots in a tin.
That is all they let me carry in.
No money, no clothes, no shoes,
To get me on my way but I'll be okay.
Moving through the scenes like I'm living in a movie.
Cnd you're the protagonist.
Or maybe a ventriloquist,
Holding my strings to keep me here.

I'll never live in New York, and if I ran away,
Tell them that I've joined the army.
Cnd if I live out my days, in Brooklyn's alleyways,
Know that I am leaving for no one.
Tell them that I'm leaving for no one.

Yes, I know you're shocked,
Tell me what you expected to unlock.
Master keys, molded from your cluttered mind.
I can't see how you've come so far this time.

I'll never live in New York, and if I ran away,
Tell them that I've joined the army.
Cnd if I live out my days, in Brooklyn's alleyways,
Know that I am leaving for no one.
Tell them that I'm leaving for no one.

I'll gladly leave, without giving another f*ck,
Cbout the way you told me to disappear without a trace.
I'll give you up. You gave me up a long, long time ago,
Cnd I forgot the features of your face.
