Back in NYC Lyrics by Jeff Buckley

Back in NYC Lyrics

    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
    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
    '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

    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
    Off we go, off we go, off we go

    You're sitting in your comfort
    You don't believe I'm real
    You never 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

    And I've taken all the strongest meats
    And laid them down in colored sheets
    Laid them down in 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
    Back in New York City.
