| 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 a chain gang, we don't believe in pain | |
| 'cos we're only the strong, yes we're only as strong, as the | |
| weakest link to the chain | |
| Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen | |
| I had to get it out of me, i fyou know what I mean, what I mean | |
| You say I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit | |
| But I know it's me that 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 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. No! | |
| Off we go! | |
| You're sitting in your comfor 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 | |
| Who need 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 excape | |
| Whey your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! | |
| ...No time |
| 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 | |
