new  york,  ny-  chronic  future

  well  all  these  people  of  the  city  will  keep  you  in  their  blind  spots

  especially  when  they  know  that  you're  out  looking  to  sign  dots

  i  tried  to  tell  this  girl  how  twisted  my  mind  got

  but  it's  her  dream  to  ride  the  conveyer  belt  of  that  side  walk

  she's  got  intentions  of  being  number  one

  but  can  she  handle  rejection  in  the  city  of  no  sun

  where  bricks  change  colors  faster  than  careers  do

  and  few  people  drive  away  and  like  what's  in  their  rearview

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day

  they  say  these  things  come  and  these  things  go

  but  if  i  don't  try  i'll  never  know

  she  don't  care  what  it  takes  she  knows  she's  got  the  ability

  and  with  what  her  folks  make

  you  know  she'd  have  stability

  she  just  needs  to  get  out  there

  and  step  toward  her  validity

  she  can't  keep  dying  over  this

  because  it's  just  killing  me

  she's  not  used  to  foot  steps  digging  in  her  chest

  high  heeled  investments  and  suit's  getting  undressed

  growing  hold  and  having  new  recruits  become  the  best

  and  finding  that  she's  stepped  on  everyone  and  no  one's  left

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day

  they  say  these  things  come  and  these  things  go

  but  if  i  don't  try  i'll  never  know

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day

  they  say  these  things  come  and  these  things  go

  but  if  i  don't  try  i'll  never  know

    well  it  hurts  like  walking  barefoot  on  light  bulbs

  smashing  ideas  with  open  skin

  til'  the  pearl  white  dorps  of  blood  turn  red

  and  everyone  can  tell

  that  you've  worked  hard  enough

  it's  time  to  go

  go  get  your  map  and  compass  and  don't  listen  to  them

  and  don't  think  about  how  much  time  you're  fixing  to  spend

  the  dirt  only  ends  when  the  pavement  begins

  this  is  your  heart  your  dream

  and  you're  your  only  friend  so  go

    you  can  kick  the  earth  as  hard  as  you  want

  to  show  your  frustration

  or  you  can  get  in  your  car  and  kick  your  foot  to  the  gas

  and  keep  accelerating  till  you  hit  your  destination

  so  go

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day

  they  say  these  things  come  and  these  things  go

  but  if  i  don't  try  i'll  never  know

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day

  new  york  city's  so  far  away

  but  i  can't  wait  even  for  one  more  day
