No Better Place Lyrics

Artist: Fountains Of Wayne
Album: Welcome Interstate Managers

Is that supposed 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 waking, trying not to be
Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn
The nighttime€™s wrapped around you
€˜Will be until it traps 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 is at some Madison Avenue display
Like water under bridges
You€™re slowly passing by
She sailed 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, €œI€™ll miss you every day€?

So I taxi to an all-night party
Park me in a 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
