One Foot

I'm standin' in Brooklyn' just waitin' for somethin' to happen

I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it

To my left there's a window

Where did I go?

My reflection just planted two rows of coal

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 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

What you callin' a sin isn't up to them

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

I'm 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
