Back in N.Y.C. Lyrics

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City, huh

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, Riel, the electric razor

I'm the pitcher in a chain gang, we don′t believe in pain
'Cause we're only as strong, yes, we′re only as strong
As the weakest link in the chain
Let me out of Pontiac when I was just 17
I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean

Ah! You say I must be crazy
′Cause I don't care who I hit, who I hit
But I know it′s me that's hitting out
And I′m, 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 filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires where Riel has been, has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape

Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go

You′re sitting in your comfort, 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 it was mine in the first place so I'll burn it to ash

I′ve tasted all the strongest meats
And laid them down in colored sheets
Laid them down in colored sheets
Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you're out walking in the streets
With your mainline connection, connection?

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time
