Tom meltzer

Theres a cold rain pouring off the williamsburg bridge
The worlds giving way beneath my feet
Someone once said that youre lucky when youre dead
You know sometimes I agree

Theyre sweeping hot bottle caps onto the street
Theres a boy about 16 staring down
With a sick little smile just to prove hes 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 hell 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 Ill 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
Its a hard sad life most peopled 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
