Lyrics for 'Williamsburg' by '5 Chinese Brothers'
Tom Meltzer
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
