As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better I suppose
I`ve reclaimed the use of my imaginatio
for better or for worse I`ve yet to know but I
always knew you`d be the one to understand me
I guess that`s why it took so long to get things right
Suddenly I`m lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why Oh why
Oh why haven`t you been there for me
Can`t you see I`m losing my mind this tim
This time I think it`s for real I can see
All the tree tops turning re
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want somethin
I close my eyes I tell myself to breath
and be calm
Be calm
I know you feel like you are breaking down
I know that it gets so hard sometimes
Be calm
I`m scared that everyone is out to get me
These days before you speak to me you pause
I always see you looking out your window
After all you lost your band you left your mom
Now every single crack every penny that I pass
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I`ve made
I`m saddled with bad luck that came
the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I`m gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
and when they came a`carolin`
so loud so bright the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we`ll all rejoice and sing a song that goes
Oh be calm
Be calm
I know you feel like you are breaking down
I know that it gets so hard sometimes
Be calm
Take it from me I`ve been there a thousand times
You hate your pulse because it thinks you`re still alive
and everything`s wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm
I don`t remember much that night
Just walking thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can`t remember the man
the panhandler or his melody
The words exchanged had far exceede
any change I`d given thee
Oh be calm be calm
I know you feel like you are breaking down
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometime
Be calm
Take it from me I`ve been there a thousand times
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you`re alive
and everything`s wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm be calm
