[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Aaah, 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'm not full of shit
Down by my bottle, filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires where Rael has been, has been
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
[Verse 3]
You're sitting in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real
Well, you cannot buy protection from the way that I feel
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash
It was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash
When I've taken 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
Your mainline connection
Connection
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
Back in New York City
