I've been here since '81, that's a long time |
|
I've seen all there is to see |
|
Had a space on astor place, had it all once |
|
Now these streets are reality |
|
Because New York City don't mean nothing |
|
It's just a good place when you're running |
|
Lights they cut so bright, make you bleed |
|
Neon children live their lives there |
|
Mad magicians tinsel nightmares |
|
Still you know I'm never gonna leave |
|
Never sleep alone on the subway |
|
Never walk alone on the tracks |
|
Never take a ride to the edge of your mind |
|
Unless you've got a ticket back |
|
Don't believe in TV preachers |
|
Don't believe in talk show stars |
|
Never follow trends if they turn on your friends |
|
Just be sure you know who your friends are |
|
'Cause if you're running blind |
|
On a refueled mind |
|
Better watch the time |
|
Careful you don't go too far |
|
Never burn the bridges before you |
|
Never burn the bridges behind |
|
Don't burn the one that you're walking on |
|
You gonna hit the water in time |
|
Don't believe in expectations |
|
Don't believe in shooting stars |
|
If you make a stand on a dead empty hand |
|
Never let 'em see your cards |
|
'Cause if you're running blind |
|
On a refueled mind |
|
Better watch the time |
|
Careful you don't go too far, too far |
|
Can't you hear |
|
New York City don't mean nothing |
|
It's just a good place when you're running |
|
Still you know I'm never gonna leave |
