| [00:05.21] |
|
| [00:21.49] |
As I walk through the streets of my new city |
| [00:24.95] |
My back feeling much better, I suppose |
| [00:28.74] |
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination |
| [00:32.34] |
For better or for worse, I've yet to know |
| [00:35.36] |
But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me, |
| [00:39.35] |
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right. |
| [00:43.56] |
Suddenly I'm lost |
| [00:45.41] |
On my streetOn my block |
| [00:47.03] |
Oh why, Oh why |
| [00:50.56] |
Oh why haven't you been there for me? |
| [00:55.24] |
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time? |
| [01:01.63] |
I think it's for real, I can see |
| [01:04.69] |
The tops of trees are turning red |
| [01:06.42] |
The beggars near bodegas grin at me |
| [01:07.94] |
I think they want something |
| [01:09.45] |
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe |
| [01:12.96] |
And be calm. |
| [01:17.76] |
Be calm. |
| [01:19.18] |
I know you feel like you are breaking down. |
| [01:23.19] |
I know that it gets so hard sometimes. |
| [01:29.12] |
Be calm. |
| [01:31.32] |
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me. |
| [01:35.06] |
"These days before you speak to me you pause." |
| [01:38.59] |
"I always see you looking out your window." |
| [01:41.62] |
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom." |
| [01:44.82] |
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass, |
| [01:48.65] |
Says I should either leave or pick it up |
| [01:51.60] |
But with every single buck I've made |
| [01:54.37] |
I'm saddled with bad luck that came |
| [01:56.42] |
The moment I was baptized |
| [01:57.71] |
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die |
| [01:59.70] |
If only I could find my people or my place in life |
| [02:02.49] |
A when they come a'carolin' |
| [02:04.13] |
So loud, so bright, the theremin |
| [02:05.80] |
Will lead us to a chorus |
| [02:07.17] |
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes: |
| [02:09.83] |
Oh be calm. |
| [02:12.09] |
Be calm. |
| [02:13.67] |
I know you feel like you are breaking down. |
| [02:17.66] |
I know that it gets so hard sometimes, |
| [02:23.19] |
Be calm. |
| [02:24.91] |
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. |
| [02:28.53] |
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive |
| [02:31.75] |
And everything's wrong |
| [02:34.05] |
It just gets so hard sometimes |
| [02:37.95] |
Be calm. |
| [02:40.00] |
I don't remember much that night, |
| [02:43.76] |
Just walking, thinking fondly of you |
| [02:47.70] |
Thinking how the worst is yet to come |
| [02:52.21] |
When from that street corner came a song |
| [02:55.77] |
And I can't remember the man, |
| [02:58.53] |
The panhandler or his melody. |
| [03:02.20] |
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee. |
| [03:14.89] |
Oh be calm. |
| [03:16.72] |
Be calm. |
| [03:18.34] |
I know you feel like you are breaking down. |
| [03:22.46] |
I know that it gets so hard sometimes, |
| [03:27.84] |
Be calm. |
| [03:29.45] |
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. |
| [03:33.18] |
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive |
| [03:36.34] |
And everything's wrong |
| [03:38.56] |
It just gets so hard sometimes |
| [03:42.61] |
Be calm... |
| [03:46.32] |
