Making my way in the city
Hiding away in the dark
Living a life full of pity
Looking around for the spark
Maybe if I just admit that I'm wrong
And I take you along for the ride
Maybe I'd find it easier if I lied
Walking around out in Brooklyn
Looking for places to hide
Filling my head full of questions
On something I'd never decide
Looking around when you're out in the town where the buildings make you small
Life is the biggest question of them all
What you see walking in the distance is a broken man
And I know you'll meet up with resistance, doing all ya can
And I know you'll walk right there behind me, cos you're a diamond so I'm told,
Maybe I'm getting old
Maybe I'm getting old before
My time, old before my time
You're gonna have to learn to forgive me
Cos I'm just gonna let you down
I'm riddled like rats from the city
And you'll remember me as the clown
Rotting away after games that I played and for starting a fire in your heart
Maybe I was a loser from the start?

My time,
Old before my time, old before my time, old before my time
