What New York Couples Fight About (feat. Kurt Wagner)

Once a label is on something
 It becomes an it
 Like it's no longer alive
 It's like a loss of vision
 Or some dark impression
 Or a black spot on your eye
 If it's up to you
 My little sweet baboo
 Through the shouting and the fever
 Think of life as queer
 Think of it my dear
 As some knobs or a fancy tone
 From here there is no reason
 Baby's got it made
 But it's not what the life's about
 What is imagination?
 May become a fact
 If we think of it that way
 If you want to know
 I can tell you now
 Or if you make it through somehow
 Or is it best to keep or fall to sleep
 It isn't looking very good to me from here
 Hey,
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
 What do New York couples fight about
 Brother's gonna work it out
 (Baby's got the bed sheet)
 How do
 (That was under you)
 New York
 (When your time and and the life expires)
 Couples Fight it out
 What these couples fight about
 (Keeps it in the closet)
 What do
 (Keeps it to herself)
 New york
 (She should throw the damn thing out)
 Couples fight about
 But their gonna work it out
 (Why should you continue)
 How do
 (To shake it off)
 New York
 (Would you write things on the wall)
 Couples fight it out
 What these couples fight about
 You could make it hard, to be
 In the shouting you will see
 Or is it best to change the world you're keeping
 Down again
 Hey,
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know...
 Such is the sound of sorry
 Without the shy report
 Or the grips that could hold you down
 (Just when things were looking up
 You act just like a horses butt)
 Everything was simple
 But the body's worn
 Got the life spread on the ground
 (Powder pink and general,
 the kitchen sink, a funeral)
 Every loving other
 Don't you fade on me
 Like a bomb that's about to blow
 (Often we will overlook,
 the things that make it undercooked)
 We can make it hard
 Or we can take the world apart
 Or you'd never be that sure?
 Of the simple thing that makes you want to cry again
 Hey,
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
 He's distressed
 And I forget
 I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
