N.Y.C. Lyrics by Bryan Ferry

Mamouna

1994

Hey there mister
Let me tell ya
I got something here
Gonna blow your mind
The way that it is
There's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood
Never out of your mind

No way out of this place
My neighbourhood
House and garden topiary
Just like Hollywood
On the mainline to Harlem
You want to live
Desdemona waiting for ya
Somethin's gotta give

Hey there mister
Let me tell ya
I got something here
Gonna blow your mind
The way that it is
There's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood
Never out of your mind

No way out of this place
My neighbourhood
House and garden topiary
Just like Hollywood
On the mainline to Harlem
You want to live
Desdemona
