New York City Don`t Mean Nothing — текст песни (Savatage)

I`ve been here since `81
That`s a long time
I`ve seen all there is to see

Had a space on Astor Place
Had it all once
Now these streets
Are my reality

Because
New York City
Don`t mean nothing
It`s just a good place when you`re running
Lights they cut so bright they make you bleed

Neon children live their lives there
Mad magicians tinsel nightmares
Still you know I`m never gonna leave

Never sleep alone on the subway
Never walk alone on the tracks
Never take a ride to the edge of your mind
Unless you`ve got a ticket back
Don`t believe in T.V. preachers
Don`t believe in talk show stars
Never follow trends if they turn on your friends
Just be sure you know who your friends are

`Cause if you`re running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
Careful you don`t go too far

Never burn the bridges before you
Never burn the bridges behind
Don`t burn the one that you`re walking on
Gonna hit the water in time

Don`t believe in expectations
Don`t believe in shooting stars
If you make a stand on a dead empty hand
Never let `em see your cards

`Cause if you`re running blind
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
Careful you don`t go too far
Too far

Can`t you hear...

New York City
Don`t mean nothing
It`s just a good place when you`re running
Still you know I`m never gonna leave
