Back In NYC Songtext
von Kevin Gilbert

So you think I′m a tough kid
Is that what you heard?
Yeah, well, I like to see some action
And it gets into my blood
They call me the trailblazer
Rael, electric razor
I'm a pitcher in a chain gang
We don′t believe in pain
'Cause we're only as strong
Yeah, we′re only as strong
As the weakest link
In the chain
Let me out of Pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean
What I mean


You say I must be crazy
′Cause I don't care who I hit
But you know it′s me that's hitting hard
And I, I′m not full of shit
I don't care who I hurt
I don′t care who I do wrong
This is your mess I'm stuck in
I really don't belong
When I take out my bottle
Fill it up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where Rael has been
Has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in debt
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape
When your frumpy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your frumpy heart is ready for rape, no
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go


Sitting in your comfort
And you don′t believe I′m real
You cannot buy protection
From the way that I feel
Your progressive hypocrites
Hand out their trash
But we burn in the first place
So I'll burn it to ash
And I′ve tasted all the strongest meats
Laid them down in colored sheets
Laid them down in colored sheets
And who needs illusions
Of love and affection
When you're out walking in the streets
On your mainline connection
Connection

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in debt
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape
When your frumpy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your frumpy heart is ready for rape, no
No time for romantic escape
When your frumpy heart is ready for rape, no time
