I saw a rainbow stretched across the ocean
   Crashed the Big Apple
   So I took a bite
   Found a taste I like
   But she bit me back
  
   I jumped across the ocean
   Found a Big Apple
   So I took a bite
   She teased me with a taste
   Laid my soul to waste
   Stabbed me in the back
  
   Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
   I ain't never coming back, no
   Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
   I ain't never coming back, child
  
   Pressure never stops
   Pressure never drops
   Lennon got fried
   Said it was a crime
   Said it was a pity
   No one even cried
  
   Pressure never stops
   Pressure never drops
   Lennon got fried
   Said it was a crime
   Said it was a pity
   No one even cried, cried, cried
  
   Oh, Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
