I've got a problem that i cannot explain 
a small metal slug tore a hole through my brain 
i got heartburn it's like a knife in my back 
i like to ride the subway 
but i might get pushed on the tracks 
i got no money i get so depressed 
when a perfect stranger puts a gun to my chest 
i tell you doctor i'm going of my mind 
is there anything for a pain of this kind 
new york fever again 
Hey hey, hey hey! 
I've got a pounding on the back of my skull 
i try to react but my senses are dull 
i hear voices i wish not to repeat 
too busy dodging bullets on the street 
i've got to get out of this town 
something stinks it's about to go down 
feeling sick but i can't feel my pain 
i've got the new york fever, 
new york fever again 
Hey hey! 
Go! hey hey hey hey hey hey! 
New york fever again 
Hey hey, hey hey! 
Well 
it's quite outrageous, and i cannot believe 
the kids can't read but they 
are armed to the teeth 
they keep complaining that they can't find no work 
they don't go to school 
they do drugs act like jerks 
i've got a pounding, a pounding 
on the back of my skull... 
i try to react but my senses are dull 
i hear voices i wish not to repeat! 
i'm too busy dodging bullets on the street! 
New york fever (new york fever) 
new york fever (new york fever) 
new york fever (new york fever) 
new york fever again...
