|
There's a cold rain pouring off the Williamsburg Bridge
|
The world's giving way beneath my feet
|
Someone once said that you're lucky when you're dead
|
You know sometimes I agree
|
They're sweeping hot bottle caps onto the street
|
There's a boy about 16 staring down
|
With a sick little smile just to prove he's alive
|
As he looks around for nothing on the ground
|
Once his life was a prison but it burst at the seams
|
When he found a way to leave his dreams behind
|
Now he lives in a mist he hopes will leave him so numb
|
That he'll die without a worry on his mind
|
CHORUS
|
I was walking through Williamsburg, taking it in
|
Trying to keep the courage not to run
|
When a boy left a bodega and he stepped in my path
|
In his right hand was a gun
|
He said, "Give me your money and I'll leave you alive"
|
And he shook and looked discouraged while he talked
|
And I tried not to watch him as he walked away
|
But I noticed a spring in his walk
|
CHORUS
|
You only get one chance at everything on this Earth
|
And everything you do you must redeem
|
It's a hard sad life most people'd rather throw away
|
On drinks and drugs and idle dreams
|
I was sitting in my bedroom staring at an empty fifth
|
The night was disappearing from my head
|
When I had a funny thought and I started to laugh
|
'Cause I remembered what somebody said
|
CHORUS
