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 the chain gang, we don't believe in pain only as strong,
|
'cos 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, 'cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit.
|
But I know it's me thats 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 ape. No!
|
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.
|
And I've tasted all the strongest meats,
|
And laid them down in coloured sheets.
|
Laid them down in coloured 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!... No time.
