Looking legal but it's
R'n'R

She was a New York City Animal
She was a purveyor of rock n roll
She was a vision in her stilettos
Silhouettin' like a winding road
Come on mamma what you got on me
Come on down to the land of the free
I see you walking and I'm coming behind
Want you to rock me in your animal hide
Ooooh yeah
He was a nightlife impresario
We know you boned him on the down low
Spinning records at the rock show
Sounding good on the audio
And you were dancing like a scene queen
Shaking your pony to the Libertines
Flashes poppin' fashion magazines
Looking legal but you're only 17
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ooooowww
The afterparty was a real blast
Black cherry seltzer shots were very fast
Rockin Deceptacon and Outkast
Some kind of fashion iconoclast
Dollar pizza and a shoot on the street
You never know who you're gonna meet
Spread on the pavement with your Prada bag
Don't show your Momma just remove the tag
Sweet
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ooooowww
She was a New York City Animal
She was a purveyor of rock n roll
She was a vision in her stilettos
Silhouettin' like a winding road
Come on mamma what you got on me
Come on down to the land of the free
I see you walking and I'm coming behind
Want you to rock me in your animal hide
Ooooh yeah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ooooowww

see the ladies on the dance floor hanging around its the same old thing everyday
I need a little something new just a little bit stronger
I need a rush that wont go away
You got your thing you got your thing you got your little thing
And its making you feel alright
But we taking it down yeah we taking it down
We gonna go around the block tonight
Its a feel good thing got that feeling so high
So why that pouty face grown so long
You gotta pump it like it hot like you’re walking on coals
You gotta get right into the song
Are you ready are you ready for this es-tu prête pour un nouvel amour
Are you ready are you ready for this are you ready for a new love
People running round trying to tell me what to do I got my own thing baby its good
I see these kids trying to show me what is cool cool cool but I’m OG in the neighborhood
Yeah You got your thing you got your thing another man knocking don’t be thinking that I don’t know what’s up
When you meet him in the bathroom and you powder you nose don’t even come and try to cover it up
Are you ready are you ready for this es-tu prête pour un nouvel amour
Are you ready are you ready for this are you ready for a new love
Are you ready are you ready for this es-tu prête pour un nouvel amour
Are you ready are you ready for this are you ready for a new love
Elle est une vision oscillante dans la lumiere
C est une reine des nuits de Manhattan
C'est une cosmonaute qui tord les genres
C'est la gentille fille du coin de la rue
Elle a des garçons et elle a des filles
Elle a des histoires pour le monde
Fear and Loathing à New York
Elle est défoncée mais elle s'ennuie
Second Single
"Un Nouvel D'Amour "
Released
March 27, 2023
Some future superstar walking down the street
Sidewalk’s steaming two cops on the beat
International flavors ladies looking fine
I think I’m floating I can’t feel my spine
Fools gold on my fingers why you waste your time
Some kind of junkie dude on a citibike
I was feeling home runs but all I got is strikes
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Round here round here what you don’t know can’t hurt you
What you don’t know can’t hurt you
Is it 1984?
Someone’s peering through my door
Did I miss your tele call?
I don’t know remember you at all
Go on and roll the dice hope you got the bread
Look at that apartment man… what a spread
Why take an uber car when we can walk
Tape up your blisters man this city is a catwalk
Manhattan skyline slipstream grooves
Deliver the rush we got the moves
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Round here round here what you don’t know can’t hurt you
What you don’t know can’t hurt you
Is it 1984?
Someone’s peering through my door
Did I miss your tele call?
I don’t know remember you at all
Whoa o o o o o o o ohhhh
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Round here round here what you don’t know can’t hurt you
What you don’t know can’t hurt you
Is it 1984?
Someone’s peering through my door
Did I miss your tele call?
I don’t know remember you at all
I don’t know remember you at all
