[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 (2x) ]
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 (2x) ]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

[Interlude: Ezra Koenig (2x) ]
New Dorp, New York

[Bridge: Sbtrkt (2x) ]
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singing under diner lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs

[Ezra Koenig]
I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs

[Verse 1]
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)

[Interlude (2x) ]

[Chorus (2x) ]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp, New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock

[Verse 2]
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)

[Outro: Ezra Koenig (5x) ]
My girl's got a city to run
