If you make a stand on a dead empty hand
Now these streets are reality
Mad magicians tinsel nightmares
Just be sure you know who your friends are
Neon children live their lives there
It's just a good place when you're running
New York City don't mean nothing
Can't you hear
Never let 'em see your cards
Careful you don't go too far
You gonna hit the water in time
Because New York City don't mean nothing
On a refueled mind
Careful you don't go too far, too far
Had a space on astor place, had it all once
Never follow trends if they turn on your friends
Better watch the time
On a refueled mind
Better watch the time
Never burn the bridges behind
'Cause if you're running blind
Don't believe in talk show stars
Never burn the bridges before you
It's just a good place when you're running
Never sleep alone on the subway
Still you know I'm never gonna leave
Never walk alone on the tracks
Don't believe in shooting stars
Never take a ride to the edge of your mind
Unless you've got a ticket back
Don't burn the one that you're walking on
Don't believe in expectations
Lights they cut so bright, make you bleed
'Cause if you're running blind
Don't believe in TV preachers
