The Ledge |
All eyes look up to me |
High above the filthy streets. |
Heed no bullhorn when it calls. |
Watch me fly and die. |
Watch me fall. |
I’m the boy they can’t ignore, |
For the first time in my life, I’m sure. |
All the love sent up high to pledge |
Won’t reach the ledge. |
Wind blows cold from the west. |
I smell coffee, I smell doughnuts on their breaths. |
A girl that I knew once years ago |
Is tryin' to be reached on the phone. |
I’m the boy she can’t ignore, |
For the first time in my life, I’m sure. |
All the love sent up high to pledge… |
(Repeat) |
Priest kneels silent, all is still. |
Policeman reaches from the sill. |
Watch him, watch him try his best. |
There’ll be no medal pinned to his chest. |
I’m the boy they couldn’t ignore, |
For the first time in my life, I’m sure. |
(Repeat) |
I’m the boy for the last time in my life. |
All the love that they pledge |
For the last time will not reach the ledge. |
