New York City Don't Mean Nothing Lyrics - Savatage

I've been here since '81, that's a long time 

I've seen all there is to see 

Had a space on astor place, had it all once 

Now these streets are reality 

Because New York City don't mean nothing 

It's just a good place when you're running 

Lights they cut so bright, make you bleed 

Neon children live their lives there 

Mad magicians tinsel nightmares 

Still you know I'm never gonna leave 

Never sleep alone on the subway 

Never walk alone on the tracks 

Never take a ride to the edge of your mind 

Unless you've got a ticket back

Don't believe in TV preachers 

Don't believe in talk show stars 

Never follow trends if they turn on your friends 

Just be sure you know who your friends are 

'Cause if you're running blind 

On a refueled mind 

Better watch the time 

Careful you don't go too far 

Never burn the bridges before you 

Never burn the bridges behind 

Don't burn the one that you're walking on 

You gonna hit the water in time 

Don't believe in expectations 

Don't believe in shooting stars 

If you make a stand on a dead empty hand 

Never let 'em see your cards 

Photos 

'Cause if you're running blind 

On a refueled mind 

Better watch the time 

Careful you don't go too far, too far 

Can't you hear 

New York City don't mean nothing 

It's just a good place when you're running 

Still you know I'm never gonna leave
