[00:05.21]
[00:21.49]As I walk through the streets of my new city
[00:24.95]My back feeling much better, I suppose
[00:28.74]I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
[00:32.34]For better or for worse, I've yet to know
[00:35.36]But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
[00:39.35]I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
[00:43.56]Suddenly I'm lost
[00:45.41]On my streetOn my block
[00:47.03]Oh why, Oh why
[00:50.56]Oh why haven't you been there for me?
[00:55.24]Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
[01:01.63]I think it's for real, I can see
[01:04.69]The tops of trees are turning red
[01:06.42]The beggars near bodegas grin at me
[01:07.94]I think they want something
[01:09.45]I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
[01:12.96]And be calm.
[01:17.76]Be calm.
[01:19.18]I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[01:23.19]I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
[01:29.12]Be calm.
[01:31.32]I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
[01:35.06]"These days before you speak to me you pause."
[01:38.59]"I always see you looking out your window."
[01:41.62]"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
[01:44.82]Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
[01:48.65]Says I should either leave or pick it up
[01:51.60]But with every single buck I've made
[01:54.37]I'm saddled with bad luck that came
[01:56.42]The moment I was baptized
[01:57.71]Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
[01:59.70]If only I could find my people or my place in life
[02:02.49]A when they come a'carolin'
[02:04.13]So loud, so bright, the theremin
[02:05.80]Will lead us to a chorus
[02:07.17]Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
[02:09.83]Oh be calm.
[02:12.09]Be calm.
[02:13.67]I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[02:17.66]I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
[02:23.19]Be calm.
[02:24.91]Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
[02:28.53]You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
[02:31.75]And everything's wrong
[02:34.05]It just gets so hard sometimes
[02:37.95]Be calm.
[02:40.00]I don't remember much that night,
[02:43.76]Just walking, thinking fondly of you
[02:47.70]Thinking how the worst is yet to come
[02:52.21]When from that street corner came a song
[02:55.77]And I can't remember the man,
[02:58.53]The panhandler or his melody.
[03:02.20]The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
[03:14.89]Oh be calm.
[03:16.72]Be calm.
[03:18.34]I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[03:22.46]I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
[03:27.84]Be calm.
[03:29.45]Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
[03:33.18]You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
[03:36.34]And everything's wrong
[03:38.56]It just gets so hard sometimes
[03:42.61]Be calm...
