I took the F train down to 4th and I stepped out through the open door
And the city was shining bright, shining bright lights
I took the next block, stayed the course, heading crosstown like I'm waging war
And that feeling’s running through my veins, through my veins tonight

It’s such a shame when you live with the pain and there’s nowhere at all to hide

Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner
Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner
Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner

I headed downtown staying on the track, I keep moving, not looking back
And this music's playing my head, in my head tonight
If I'm standing, shoot me down, just keep swinging, you won't knock me out
If I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming big with my head up to the sky

It’s such a shame when you live with the pain and there’s nowhere at all to hide

Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner
Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner
Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner

Look at these lights so bright look at my face so light I don't ever wanna go back home tonight
Look at these lights so bright look at my face so light I don't ever wanna go back

Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Even though I ain’t t change my demeanor, I just got a little meaner
Saw the grass and the grass ain’t greener, cut the fat now I'm stronger leaner
Been the same for a while since I seen ya, I just got a little meaner
Just got a little meaner, just got a little meaner
