I'm standing in Brooklyn
just waiting for
something to happen
I can't help
but love thinkin' that
everyone doesn't get it
To my left there's a window
Where did I go
My reflection just blends in
to rows of clothes
and bad ideas
bad ideas none the less and so
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
I happened to stumble upon
a chapel last night
and I can't help but
back up when I think of
what happens inside
I got friends locked in boxes
that's no way to live
but what you're callin' a sin
isn't up to them
After all
After all I thought
we were all your children
But I will die for my own sins
thanks a lot
We will rise up ourselves
thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground
our forefathers are
nothing but dust now
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
Maybe I should learn
to shut my mouth
I am over twenty-five
and I can't make
a name for myself
some nights I break down
and cry
I'm lucky that
my father's still alive
He's been fightin' all his life
and if this is all
I've ever known
then may his soul
live on forever
in my song
Da di da da da da da
Da di da
da da da da da da
Da di da da da da
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
I'll put one foot
in front of the other one
I don't need a new love
or a new life
just a better place to die
In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Just a better place to die
