Lyrics
0:23I see faces and traces of home
0:29Back in new York city
0:47So you think I'm a tough kid
0:57Is that what you heard
1:03Well I like to see some action
1:12And it gets into my blood
1:20Well they let me out of Pontiac
1:24When I was just seventeen
1:28I had to get it out of me
1:32If you know what I mean what I mean
1:57They say I must be crazy
2:07Cause I don't care who I hit who I hit
2:13Cause I know it's me that's hitting out
2:22And I know I'm not full of sh*t
2:30Down by my bottle filled up high with gasoline
2:37You can tell by the night fires
2:42Where a rail has been has been
2:55As I cuddled the porcupine
2:59He said I had none to blame but me
3:05Gave my heart deep in hell
3:09Time to shave shave it off it off
3:16No time for romantic escape and your
3:20Fluffy heart is ready for rape
3:26No time for romantic escape and your
3:30Fluffy heart is ready for rape
3:35Off we go off we go off we go
3:50You're sitting in your comfort
3:54Who don't believe I'm real
3:57You cannot buy protection
4:01For the way that I feel
4:06Your progressive hypocrites
4:10Handing out their trash
4:14It was mine in the first place
4:18So I'll burn to ash
4:22When I've taken all the strongest meats
4:26And laid them down in colored sheets
4:31And laid them down in colored sheets
4:39Well who needs illusions
4:43Of love and affection when you're out
4:48Walking in the streets your mainline connection
4:55Connection
5:04As I cuddled the porcupine
5:08He said I had none to blame but me
5:14Held my heart deep in hell
5:17Time to shave shave it off it off
5:24No time for romantic escape
5:28And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
5:33No no time for romantic escape
5:38And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
5:43No
5:45No time for romantic escape
5:48And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
5:55No time
6:06Back in new York city
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 Well they 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 They say I must be crazy Cause I don't care who I hit who I hit Cause I know it's me that's hitting out And I know I'm not full of sh*t Down by my bottle filled up high with gasoline You can tell by the night fires Where a rail has been has been As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame but me Gave my heart deep in hell Time to shave shave it off it off No time for romantic escape and your Fluffy heart is ready for rape No time for romantic escape and your Fluffy heart is ready for rape Off we go off we go off we go You're sitting in your comfort Who don't believe I'm real You cannot buy protection For the way that I feel Your progressive hypocrites Handing out their trash It was mine in the first place So I'll burn to ash When I've taken all the strongest meats And laid them down in colored sheets And laid them down in colored sheets Well who needs illusions Of love and affection when you're out Walking in the streets your mainline connection Connection As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame but me Held my heart deep in hell Time to shave shave it off it off No time for romantic escape And your fluffy heart is ready for rape No no time for romantic escape And your fluffy heart is ready for rape No No time for romantic escape And your fluffy heart is ready for rape No time Back in new York city
