Mighty mighty bosstones the almost anything goes lyrics

Four-thiry in the morning



I'm tattered, tired, and torn



Trying to keep up with the pace



This ain't my home, and it ain't my place



The candle keeps on burning



At this point there's no returning



The policy is clear



Anything goes when you are here







Almost anything goes



From the nightclubs to the shows



Almost anything goes



From the haircuts to the clothes



Almost anything goes



From your head down to your toes



Almost anything goes, does this place ever close?







I want to wake up in a city



That likes to go to bed



Where they know what time of day it is



But I'm stuck here instead



Now every rule is disregarded



So it's time we all got started



Moving at that hyperspeed



This city seems to need







Almost anything goes



From the nightclubs to the shows



Almost anything goes



From the haircuts to the clothes



Almost anything goes



From your head down to your toes



Almost anything goes



Does this place ever close?







Nice place to visit 



But I don't want to die (here)



I stay on my toes 



Whenever I go by (here)



Nice place to visit



But I don't want to die (here)



I stay on my toes



Whenever I go by (here)







Spoken:



Wow



New York



Sky scrapers, everything







I was killing all my money



Spending brain cells just as fast



So I'll grab a taxi cab 



Head somewhere where I can crash



Port Authority, driver



Home's my destination



Don't no one wake me up



Til we're near Park Street Station







Almost anything goes



From the nightclubs to the shows



Almost anything goes 



From the haircuts to the clothes



Almost anything goes



From your head down to your toes



Almost anything goes



Does this place ever close?







Nice place to visit



But I don't want to die 



Stay on my toes whenever I go by



There's this electric aura that's so attractive



But I'd rather hang my hat 



On a hook that's not so active







I was walking on the wildside



I was in that state of mind



The neon lights were bright



But I'll be leaving them behind



Big city of dreams



Can be a nightmare



A knife, a fork, a bottle



And a cork, I'm outta here



I'm outta here







Nice place to visit



But I don't want to die (here)



I stay on my toes 



Whenever I go by (here)







Nice place to visit 



But I don't want to die (here)



I stay on my toes 



Whenever I go by (here)







Almost anything goes



Anything
