No Better Place Lyrics

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
