|
I saw a rainbow stretched across the ocean Crashed the Big Apple So I took a bite Found a taste I like But she bit me back I jumped across the ocean Found a Big Apple So I took a bite She teased me with a taste Laid my soul to waste Stabbed me in the back Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ I ain't never coming back Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ I ain't never coming back Pressure never stops Pressure never drops Lennon got fried Said it was a crime Said it was a pity No one even cried Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place I ain't never coming back Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place I ain't never coming back New York City, New York City New York City, New York City Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ I'm never coming back, no Disneyland trash can baby It'll give you a heart attack Times Square shuffle, Manhattan flip Twenty four hour groove Working up a frenzy baby People push on through | |
