Back in N.Y.C. (Live from The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA, 24th January 1975)

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City, huh

So you think I'm a tough kid?
Is that what you heard, aha
Yeah, well, I like to see some action
And it gets into my blood, aha

They call me the trailblazer
Rael, electric razor
I’m the pitcher in a chain gang
We don't believe in pain
Cause we're only as strong
Yes, we’re only as strong
As the weakest link in the chain

Let me out of Pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean

Oh! You say I must bе crazy
'Cause I don't care who I hit, who I hit
But I know it's me that's hitting out
And I, I'm not full of shit
I don't carе who I hurt
I don't care who I do wrong
This is your mess I’m stuck in
I really don’t belong

When I take out my bottle
Filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where Rael has been, has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!)
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!)
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!)

Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go

You're sitting in your comfort, you don’t believe I'm real
You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash
But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash

And I've tasted all the strongest meats
And laid them down in coloured sheets
Laid them down of coloured sheets
Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you’re out walking in the streets
With your mainline connection, connection?

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in hair
Time to shave, shave it off, it off

No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!)
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!)
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape

No time
