One Foot
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window
Where did I go?
My reflection just blends in (to rows of clothes)
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I happen 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 looked in boxes (That's no way to live)
What you're calling 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'll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground our forefathers are nothing but dust now
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
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 25 and I can't make a name for myself
Some nights I break down and cry
Lucky that my father's still alive
He's been fighting all his life and if this is all I've ever known
Then may his soul live on forever in my song
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
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
I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window
Where did I go?
My reflection just blends in (to rows of clothes)
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I happen 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 looked in boxes (That's no way to live)
What you're calling a sin isn't up to them

We'll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all

I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one (Oh oh oh!)
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
