It's getting late and something is waiting in the city tonight
This place is crazy and it makes me wanna f** up my mind
I like the lights the trippy lights and all the p**nographic stores
I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the who*es
When I was young I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did
Survive the scum and I'd become someone but never did
These village slums I let become my life I guess I did
I'm just a bum pathetic scum that's just the way I live
This is the life
You want the life
NO
It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight
This place is amazing and it makes me wanna f**ing get high
I love the way the buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets
The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep
I'm going farther than I ever thought far could be
By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority
At 22 I never knew the sights I would see
At 24 I made the score that k**ed that part of me
This is the life
You want the life
NO
