I'm standing in Brooklyn
Just waiting for something to happen
I can't help but look
Thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window
Where did I go?
My reflection just blends in
Too rows of clothes
And bad ideas
But ideas nonetheless 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's happens inside
I've got friends locked 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 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 fighting all his life
And if this is all I've ever known
Then may his soul live on forever
In my song

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
