Along the Outskirts
Along the outskirts
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
So you cross the razor's edge
You're gonna lose everything
Just to gain a vision
Of a dream of a love of a light that can't be named
And the wind's always blowing in your face
There's a train tumbling to another place
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
Minds lost in the haze
Machines thrashing for days
Progress is always fleeting
My pathetic heart keeps beating
Honey's broken on the bowery
And it's raining in Brooklyn
Turn out the light and just keep walking
And the wind's always blowing in your face
There's a plane flying to another place
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
In a tear-stained voice, hardly mine
No gracefulness, no thoughtful charm
So adrift
A sharper emptiness
On the outskirts
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
Now the gypsy's laughing
You can't stop what's happened
And you close the door to a room
You spent your city life in
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids drinking
And hurting in New York City
Just a couple of kids dreaming
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
So you cross the razor's edge
You're gonna lose everything
Just to gain a vision
Of a dream of a love of a light that can't be named
And the wind's always blowing in your face
There's a train tumbling to another place
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
Minds lost in the haze
Machines thrashing for days
Progress is always fleeting
My pathetic heart keeps beating
Honey's broken on the bowery
And it's raining in Brooklyn
Turn out the light and just keep walking
And the wind's always blowing in your face
There's a plane flying to another place
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids dreaming
And hurting in New York City
In a tear-stained voice, hardly mine
No gracefulness, no thoughtful charm
So adrift
A sharper emptiness
On the outskirts
Looking up at a cold new world
You beat yourself up back there
Now the gypsy's laughing
You can't stop what's happened
And you close the door to a room
You spent your city life in
If you saw me walking by
You'd ask yourself, why?
How did we get through that?
We didn't belong there
Just a couple of kids drinking
And hurting in New York City
Just a couple of kids dreaming
