NYC's Like a Graveyard
The Moldy Peaches Lyrics

New York City's like a graveyard
New York City can be thought of as a place where people go to die, just like in a graveyard

All the corpses like the way I play my guitar
Even though everyone is dead, they still appreciate my musical talent

You've gotta be cute if you wanna get far
To succeed in New York City, you need to have some physical attractiveness and charm

All the tombstones- sky scrapin'
The tall buildings in New York City can be seen as tombstones for all the people who have died there

All the rock stars double datin'
Even famous musicians are not exempt from the fact that New York City is a place of death and they too must find companionship, just like anyone else

So if you hate me, go on hating
People can hate me all they want, but that doesn't change the fact that New York City is a place of death

You've been waiting your whole life for this moment to be waitin'
People are so desperate for success in New York City that they are willing to wait for it, even if it takes their whole lives

All those hookers in their fucking cars
The city is filled with prostitution and vice

Twelve steppin' hippies hangin' out at the bar
Even those who are trying to overcome negative habits (like substance addiction) are still trapped in the cycle of New York City's death culture

Suckers and fuckers and stupid retards
New York City is filled with people who are foolish or unwise to the realities of the place

All the yuppies getting married
Even the young and upwardly mobile in New York City eventually give in to the finality of death and marriage before it

All the yuppies getting buried
They eventually wind up buried, too

Singing in this city's like singing on the prairie
Even though New York City is a bustling place, it can also feel just as desolate and empty as an open field

New York City's like a cemetery
All in all, New York City is a place of death where people come from all walks of life and eventually meet their end
