I set off your Sensormatic   A couple of big guys gave me static   They grabbed my head and threw me to the floor   Because my heart's a shiny object   I raise alarms, get held suspect   My heart is made of tin   I stole it on a whim   My distant self, I saw myself   I shook all night 'til it was over   From Kensington to East Harlem   I touched the water, watched it shiver   Hold him down and make him swim   The deeper and the deeper in   He's building monuments from towers   And if I slept a million hours   I couldn't tell the city from the rush   If I was out in California   I'd be chasing some Latina   And drinking mucho cheapo vino   A million miles from home   That never felt like home   My house fell down, they trashed my house   There are no strings that hold me tethered   I'd ride my bike the whole night long   If only I knew how to ride one   Hold him down and make him swim   The deeper and the deeper in   I set off your Sensormatic   A couple of big guys gave me static   My heart is made of tin   I stole it on a whim, yup
