Crooked Smiles / Brutal Miles

In the city that never sleeps they're panhandling forgiveness
The change was too fast to be seen then vanished with a sealed kiss
When my faded jeans & paraded dreams
Colored me so obvious

Measure me in crooked smiles
Measure me in long-logged brutal miles

A Cyclone; dive fast hearts collide, too young to celebrate it
Subway rides, bridges, divides; too tough to die outdated
Before the aftermath, the die was cast and it was complicated

Measure me in crooked smiles
Measure me in long-logged brutal miles

Beyond the burning Bowery
From here to eternity
