The Bowery lyrics

I don’t shine like the others do I’m so close, and so far From the light you see them standing in I’ll come running if you tell me to Upstate, I’m too late And the Turnpike’s choking up again Who do I think I am Rushing in where I can’t win And I am always Crumbling beneath this Heavy weight, much to say It’s this way always Take me down to the Bowery Break bread, you said I’m a loyal one, I’m a lot of fun Find a garden and we’ll burn it down Someday I’ll say I was wrong to feel so overcome This is all dimensional It’s alternate, appropriate Maybe it’s a ritual A sacrifice, a drink on ice I am unconventional And with this truth, I come to you Who do I think I am Rushing in where I can’t win And I am always Crumbling beneath this Heavy weight, much to say It’s this way always I’m so close, and so far
