Replacements - The Ledge Lyrics
All eyes look up to meHigh above the filthy streetsHeed no bullhorn when it callsWatch me fly and die, watch me fallIm the boy they cant ignore,For the first time in my life, Im sureAll the love sent up high to pledgeWont reach the ledgeWind blows cold from the westI smell coffee, I smell doughnuts for the press (on their breath? )A girl that I knew once years agoIs tryin to be reached on the phoneIm the boy she cant ignore,For the first time in my life, Im sureAll the love sent up high to pledge...(repeat)Priest kneels silent, all is stillPoliceman reaches from the sillWatch him, watch him try his bestTherell be no medal pinned to his chestIm the boy they couldnt ignore,For the first time in my life, Im sure(repeat)Im the boy for the last time in my lifeAll the love that they pledgeFor the last time will not reach the ledge
