New York City at Night
December 28, 2005
New York City at night
What a beautiful sweet sickening sight
The pavement reeks of silken slime
They’ve got a sense of life
But no sense of mind
Don’t turn your back on reality
It’s all right here for you to see
Uncovered by the neon flame
Open your eyes and you’ll see the pain
What are you going to do? What are we going to do? Nothing—Nothing
Everyone walks away Don’t give a damn who they step on Or who they leave behind The pavement reeks your silken slime You’ve got a sense of life but no sense of mind
And someday when you feel the heat Kicked and beaten lying in the street Uncovered by the neon flame You’ll close your eyes and you’ll feel the pain
What are they going to do? What are we going to do? Nothing—Nothing
What are you going to do? What are we going to do? Nothing—Nothing
Everyone walks away Don’t give a damn who they step on Or who they leave behind The pavement reeks your silken slime You’ve got a sense of life but no sense of mind
And someday when you feel the heat Kicked and beaten lying in the street Uncovered by the neon flame You’ll close your eyes and you’ll feel the pain
What are they going to do? What are we going to do? Nothing—Nothing
