No Better Place

Is that suppose to be your poker face
 Or was someone run over by a train?
 You're 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 on 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
 
 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 till 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
 So you sail between the rooftops and the sky
 ♪
 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
 
 And now you're leaving New York
 For no better place
