My friends and I are crazy. That's the only thing that keeps us sane!

I'm in a New York state of mind

I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.

Why should I worry, why should I care? And even when I cross that line, I got street savoire faire.

You can’t go the distance with too much resistance

I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.

One of the last times that we played in the area before I wrote "Allentown," I remember a guy coming up to us and saying, "You're never coming back here." I said, "Why do you say that?" He said, "Well, you're probably gonna become a big star. Nobody who ever becomes big comes back here." And I felt so sad for this kid, he seemed so bitter about it. I said, "Well, I'm coming back, no matter what."
