Whitestone City Limits Songtext
von Jesse Malin

New York was a dirty place
Everything was out of song
Just another bastard kid
And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone
Another supermarket chain
A little something for the pain
Everybody looks the same
And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone

And I didn′t do it for the money
I was only doing what I liked
And I'm so sad for you, honey


Streets were like the Creton Heart
Disco blasting on the block
Got beat up in a parking lot
And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone
Graveyards and the factories
Archie Bunker bigotry
In the shadow of the World′s Fair
And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone

And I didn't want to hurt nobody
I only wanted what was right
And I'm so sad for you, honey

Waiting on a midnight bus
Get me to the 7 train
Running from the chickenhawks
And I never went back, never went back to Whitestone

And I didn′t do it for the money
I only wanted what was right
And I′m going back to New York City
