Played Out
Mister Nervous

Corroded black trains set the bottom beat The core of the frazzled chaos weeps You can feel it underneath your feet It creeps up your legs and takes over And all of the time, like a schmuck, while you sour You're proud to be a New Yorker Endowed with that special power Feeding on this force of the city People live and die here Like so much litter or balled up fear All screwed up in a cauldron of prejudice and vice Bravado is the attitude we wear Do we have a choice? Staying alive in New York City Is just another roll of the dice Somewhere deep in my brain I hear the refrain I'm a New Yorker And I need to get out of town The myth on the streets self sustains Like a religion all of it's own It embraces your heart and demands your soul It won't let you leave it alone I've been losing to the house for way too long And my chips are running low And in my heart I know That it's time to go Somewhere deep in my brain I hear the refrain I may be a New Yorker But I GOT to get out of this town
