Back In N.Y.C. - Kevin Gilbert

I see faces and traces of home

Back in New York City, you’re home

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 the pitcher in the chain gang, we don’t believe in pain

'Cos 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 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 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 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

No time for romantic escape

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape, no

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

And I’ve tasted all the strongest meats

And laid them down on colored sheets

Laid them down on colored sheets

Who needs illusion of love and affection

When you’re out walking in the streets

With your mainline connection, connection

As I cuddle 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

No time for romantic escape

When your fluffy heart is ready for rape

No time
