Lead Paint & Salt Air |
One, two, three |
One, two, three |
Down in Asbury Park |
In a sublet, I’m renting |
I got a new job |
Where I’m out painting houses |
The sun on my neck |
And some cash in my pocket |
At least there’s fresh air here |
I watch families stroll by |
With their kids on vacation |
Scrape decades of lead paint |
And salt air off porches |
Alone with my thoughts |
And a breeze off the ocean |
I smile for the first time this year |
And I walk alone |
In the mist of the evening |
Under the glow of the Paramount sign |
I watch the sky turn violet with light |
On the fourth of July |
I’ve been spending my nights in a dive off the boardwalk |
A sad open mic I’ve been playing these damn songs |
They yell out for Springsteen, or Dylan, or Mitchell |
But these, these are all that I’ve got |
And I walk alone |
In the mist of the evening |
Under the glow of the Paramount sign |
I watch the sky turn violet with light |
On the fourth of July |
I’ve picked up smoking again |
'Cause I like how it makes all the days go by fast |
Picked up smoking again |
'Cause something’s gonna kill me some day |
So why not that? |
I’m smoking again |
'Cause I like it |
Why can’t I just like it? |
I’m smoking again |
I walk alone |
In the mist of the evening |
Under the glow of the Paramount sign |
I watch the sky turn violet with light |
On the fourth of July |
