Song | Back In N.Y.C. |
Artist | Genesis |
Album | Genesis 1970-1975 |
I see faces and traces of home back in New York City- | |
So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard? | |
Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood | |
They call me the trail blazer-Rael-electric razor | |
I'm a pitcher in a chain gang, we don't believe in pain | |
'cos we're only the strong, yes we're only as strong, as the | |
weakest link to the chain | |
Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen | |
I had to get it out of me, i fyou know what I mean, what I mean | |
You say I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit | |
But I know it's me that hittin' 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 Rael 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! | |
No time for romantic escape | |
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! | |
Off we go! | |
You're sitting in your comfor 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 | |
And I've tasted all the strongest meats | |
And laid them down in coloured sheets | |
Who need 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 excape | |
Whey your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! | |
...No time |
I see faces and traces of home back in New York City | |
So you think I' m a tough kid? Is that what you heard? | |
Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood | |
They call me the trail blazerRaelelectric razor | |
