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 my reality
|
|
Because
|
New York City
|
Don't mean nothing
|
It's just a good place when you're running
|
Lights they cut so bright they 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 T.V. 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
|
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
|
