Back in N. Y. C.

by Genesis

on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)

Is it really true what they're saying
Are you really sure there's nobody come for me?

When I'm walking home there is no one
Once there was a house, full of laughter, so warm

Trying to pretend there is someone
Someone who will care when I need it

I will now receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine

Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down

When I walk outside, there is nowhere
Children follow me with their laughter, so cold

Casting just a glance at the churchyard
Casting just a glance at my painted female friend

Now I'm on my way, I am falling
Got to find some help, ooh, I will need that now

So I will receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine

Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down

I will now receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of wine

Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine

Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow now
