A Well Earned Reputation

I take the PATH to the city
The other three take the chance to sleep
Lack of the same and I feel shitty
My commute turns to a creep
I walk in crowds on dirty streets
Lack of sleep and swear it burns my eyes
That's when I get that certain feeling
Culture shock is only certain surprise

I've been prepared for another world
Next stop is a party girl
Her gravity is a trashy suction
And she needs no introduction
I get lost in a humid space
If I can just find St. Mark's Place
Hey, it's all going down tonight
Junkie chic has earned the right

Summer's late and so am I
I sweat down to my toes
New York City unrefined to my too eager pose
No time here for naiveté
It drowns in overstimulation
Kim's Underground and so blasé
Suggests a well earned reputation
