No Better Place |
Is that suppose to be your poker face |
Or was someone run over by a train? |
You’re minding your own business |
But you’re begging for forgiveness just the same |
And it’s running back and forth inside your mind |
Just how that town defined you |
Dressed you up, painted on your face |
And now you’re leaving New York |
For no better place |
You’re awake and trying not to be |
Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn |
The nighttime’s wrapped around you |
Will be until it drops you on the dawn |
From the C train to the shiny tower |
Kicked around till happy hour found you |
Where you can drink that smirk right off your face |
And now you’re leaving New York |
For no better place |
And here is your reflection |
In a building uptown |
A ghost inside some Madison Avenue display |
Like water under bridges |
You’re slowly passing by |
So you sail between the rooftops and the sky |
The bourbon sits inside me |
Right now I’m a puppet in its sway |
And it may be the whiskey talking |
But the whiskey says I miss you every day |
So I taxi to an all-night party |
Park me in the corner in an old chair |
Sip my drink and stare out into space |
And now you’re leaving New York |
For no better place |
And now you’re leaving New York |
For no better place |
