Lyrics | [THE MAN] I was nearly home When I saw a dead boy Crumpled in an alleyway No, not dead. Just drunk Lanky and slim, youngish but grim No one claimed him Something had to be done There beside the boy I could see his iPhone Folded in his little palm There. Unlocked... Sent calls Dozens of men, named by description "Short Blue Eyes"; "Muscles Cologne"; "Kissed Me Inside a Stall" These weren't names These weren't friends These were the means to his bitter ends I hailed a car and held him close Why is this life so cruel? And why is the city so cold? The world swallows every fool And no good, no good can it hold Soon to his address When I knocked, they answered Laughing at this drunken boy His room, a mess, no light Suitcase dumped out, change on the dresser Not enough for coffee Not enough for tomorrow I placed his keys With his phone beside And before I left I pulled out my knife... Why is this life so cruel? And why is the city so cold? The world swallows every fool And no good, no good can it holdYou might also like |
