I was always going there
At least I always thought I was
Got no more time for failures
My time is up
Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, starin' at the walls
Thinkin' 'bout my angels and how they always call
The streets, they call me, but the people just turn away
And I've never felt so cold on such a beautiful day
Ah, but, the tide roll in, the tide roll out
It's nothing to laugh or cry about
Why does it take a lifetime to figure these things out
I just let go, I just let go and let this freedom fill my soul
Maybe I missed something
Something I should've seen
Maybe there's a reason
Why I carry around these dreams
Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, tears streamin' down my face
People look at me like I'm crazy
Man, I love this place
And late at night I can see St. Marks is bright
Every artist dream and bondage scene glows in the neon lights
Ah, but, the tide roll in, the tide roll out
It's nothing to laugh or cry about
Why does it take a lifetime to figure these things out
I just let go, I just let go and let this freedom fill my soul
Walkin' up 2nd Avenue, maybe for the very last time
Might just be walkin' up 2nd Avenue, but at least I'm still alive.
