Fountains of Wayne - No Better Place lyrics

Your rating:




Is that supposed to be your poker face

Or was someone run over by a train

And you were minding your own business

But you're begging for forgiveness just the same



And it's running back and forth inside your mind

Just how that town defined you

Dressed you up, painted your face



And now you're leaving New York

For no better place



You're awake and trying not to be

Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn

And the nighttime's wrapped around you

Will be until it drops you on the dawn

From the C train to the shiny tower

Kicked around til happy hour found you

Where you can drink that smirk right off your face



And now you're leaving New York

For no better place



And here is your reflection

In a building uptown

A ghost inside some Madison Avenue display

Like water under bridges

You're slowly passing by

As you sail between the rooftops and the sky



And the bourbon sits inside me

Right now I'm a puppet in its sway

And it may be the whiskey talking

But the whiskey says I miss you every day



So I taxi to an all-night party

Park me in the corner in an old chair

Sip my drink and stare out into space



And now you're leaving New York

For no better place
