I'm taking the side streets
Crusing down the alleyways
Feeling the cool breeze

Across my face
I'm losing to find
And I'm breaking to fix

Cause I'm not fit
To go on like this
Music in my head

The rhythm keeps me fed
These sounds surround me
In high frequencies

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
Stone alone

In the city of !@$( roots

When I'm about to go crazy

Cause I'm still living here
I just get my friends together
And we dance,dance,dance

Cause this is the state of the world
This city tells me what it's like to live


Hey bike messenger
What's your name?
Have you got the time

To talk to me?
Tell you what
We'll sit on this here stoop

And talk all about you
We'll just keep sitting here
Til you roll on through


Serico he's still around
Screwed up police ya might get found

City crime's for city cops
You've got to know
The streets you rock

The subway tells the story here
This is the place to disappear


I live in my open mind
And I'll die in my open mind
