Genesis - Back in N.Y.C

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 '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 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 here 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! 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
