So strange and beautiful
The fruit that came before the fall
So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)
So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)

Once again, rolled over, collapsed at the end
Once again, the efficacy of my methods in question
Once again, my head is full of thoughts of
"How could I possibly begin again?"
When the odd one is divided it doesn't suddenly get even

Once again, I've seen you nestled in hell with a wicked grin
Calling the devil your lover in a sauna heaven
I can see why people get confused about your intention
With your wide-eyed, divinely-inspired innocence
They take offence
But I get the sense the one who made the hell is the one with the sin

And baby, I understand and empathize with that wicked grin
You divided yourself, you weren't trying to get even
I sat by myself in those dark alleys they said I shouldn't have been
Waiting for either hell to win or a surprise salvation
Either way didn't matter after where I had been
And where had I been?
Fucking New York

So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)
So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)

We're back again, back to square fucking one
I'm eating my own heart and saying it's for fun
There was a lie or ten, but it was all lies to myself
Never a slight on you, I already know you're in hell
I can tell, with these dead souls drifting towards the light poles
These streets are your veins but your life's full of ghosts
And these are all stupid metaphors I'll never explain
To anyone who's listening

But the important bit is that I fell in love with a city
That was the home I had dreamt of before the road had steered me
Towards you
The river kept us apart and it also led me straight to you
And I told you
Almost the moment I saw you I knew I was fucked too
Because just like the city that didn't sleep where I dreamed
I was in love with a girl who was too haunted to see me

And baby, I understand and empathize with that need for silence
Yeah, I fucking get it, my thoughts too are at war, entrenched in violence
And just as the city I love that's too exhausted to see me
You too are breaking my heart blindly
You're fucking New York

So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)
So strange and beautiful
(New York)
The fruit that came before the fall
(New York)
So strange and beautiful
The fruit that came before the fall
