It's getting late and something is waiting in the city tonight
|
This place is crazy and it makes me wanna fuck up my mind
|
I like the lights the trippy lights and all the pornographic stores
|
I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores
|
|
When I was young I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did
|
Survive the scum and I'd become someone but never did
|
These village slums I let become my life I guess I did
|
I'm just a bum pathetic scum thats just the way I live
|
|
This is the life
|
You want the life
|
NO
|
|
It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight
|
This place is amazing and it makes me wanna fucking get high
|
I love the way the buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets
|
The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep
|
|
I'm going farther than I ever thought far could be
|
By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority
|
At 22 I never knew the sights I would see
|
At 24 I made the score that killed that part of me
|
|
This is the life
|
You want the life
|
NO
|
