[Verse 1]
Thursday came
I was tired of the Fire Engines
Tired of the Taxi Cabs
Tired of the elevators
Tired of the door-man smiling
When I know he wants to
Kick off his shoes and jump around like a fire cracker
From the sidewalk
Trains about to pass
It smells like
Hot, open, steaming ass
I gotta get out
Gotta get the hell out
I gotta get out
Get the hell out

[Pre-Chorus]
Ran through the streets
Threw off my clothes
Onto the ground
Laughed as we danced around
One with the city
Drank from the fountains
Swam through the pavement
[Chorus]
Nice to see you shine again
Good to know you've got a friend

[Verse 2]
I built a campfire in my in my fourteen-three-oh-nine
West 17th Street apartment complex
Marshmallows roasted by a candlestick
Quick, get the water
It's gettin' out of hand, yo
Little glowing constellations
On my ceiling, everywhere
House plants covering
Our naked butts are bare
Grab the kitten
'Cos the critters getting bored
I'm gonna pick a big fat booger for the Lord

[Pre-Chorus]
Ran through the streets
Threw off my clothes
Onto the ground
Laughed as we danced around
One with the city
Drank from the fountains
Swam through the pavement
Suddenly I looked around
[Chorus]
Nice to see you shine again
Good to know you've got a friend

[Instrumental bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
Ran through the streets
Threw off my clothes
Onto the ground
Laughed as we danced around
One with the city
Drank from the fountains
Swam through the pavement
Suddenly I looked around

[Chorus]
Nice to see you shine again
Good to know you've got a friend
(It's good to know you've got a friend)
Nice to see you shine again
Good to know you've got a friend
