lyrics

No, I won’t forget that speech
You gave on the train to Brighton Beach
Plain clothes cops, buffalo bones,
Kids with dancehall chirping on their phones

Said “I Want To Break Free”
Was anybody out there but you and me?
I tried hard to fall asleep but didn’t really want it
Memories start to blur
I think it was your birthday but I’m not sure
I forgot where we were
And how did we get out there?

‘Cause we chased it through the storms
but we lost it in the streets
and I thought that we might find it at the surf of Brighton Beach
But the water was too cold
And the sand was coarse and black
And that night on the train home you said we’re never coming back

Weekend next you tried to smile
On that ferry out to Governor’s Isle
From our grime into the spray
Doing anything to get away

Get away from the task
Of trying to shut it down when it felt so fast
You looked out the isle and asked
“Is anybody out there? Who?”
