lyrics

Stranger: It's yrs to keep
Stole my heart, put it on your sleeve
You're not the first to know
But the Bronx is burning so you've got to go

Walk out, buddy, don't act tough
Shared a cigarette with some downtown punks
Lights out, watch the shadow show
See the silhouettes in the streetlight glow

D train in the dead of night
Want to find some fucker, want to pick some fight
I'm tired of this trust fund town
No gold on my eyes when they put me in the ground

Going to find myself some peace of mind
Put his head to the tracks
Stand behind the yellow line
Going to break my knuckles on the next poor guy
Who's wondering what it's like to take what's mine

What's a dime piece when you make six figures
Benzos on the table, the benjamins for later
You've got heart, but we'll fix that sister
Can't you force a smile for at least one picture
Done again, it seems, with this town

Shouting in the Bronx Beer Hall
What a huge prick for a girl that small
Wallet out and she sees what he's got
Call it skill, call it fate, fuck whatever you want

I won't be the first to go
Rather watch them leave, let them step on my toes
New Hope in patient snow
Until she watches him leave
Picks his shirt up off the floor

Going to find myself a new disaster
Watch her come back, white like alabaster
Bastard's going to step like the bar bring safety
Use your money as a bandage
It heals much faster

Want to cut my fists on some Warby Parkers
Tell your fat friend he's no starving artist
What's in a name but a million dollars
Stop and smell the rose in the Botanical Gardens
Dead again it seems from this town

What's a dime piece when you make six figures
Benzos on the table, the benjamins for later
You've got heart, but we'll fix that sister
Can't you force a smile for at least one picture
Done again, it seems, with this town
