[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig (SBTRKT)]
My girl got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there 'til the number comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen the color yellow, never seen the sun
(And he thinks I'm the negative one)

[Chorus: SBTRKT ]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock


[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig (SBTRKT)]
My girl's got a little schtick
Keep you cooped up in the kitchen while you feed the kid
Keep you waitin’ in the winter while the taxi ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk, you know it weighs a ton
(You think I’m the negative one)
[Chorus-SBTRKT]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

[Interlude: Ezra Koenig]
New Dorp, New York
New Dorp, New York

[Bridge: SBTRKT]
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under diner lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs

Late nights, with Black Israelites
White women singing under dying the lights
The baseball bats never hit homeruns

[Ezra Koenig]
I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs
[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig (SBTRKT)]
My girl got a minimum
Keep stuck right there 'til the number comes
Leave the smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen the color yellow never seen the sun

[Interlude: Ezra Koenig]
New Dorp, New York
New Dorp, New York

[Chorus: SBTRKT ]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig (SBTRKT)]
My girl's got a little schtick
Keep it cooking in the kitchen, while feeding the kid
Keep you waiting in the window while the time just ticks
My girl got a limousine, got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got the speakers in the trunk, know the ways to talk
[Outro: Ezra Koenig]
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
