Be Calm
[00:20.17] As I walk through the streets of my new city
[00:23.69] My back feeling much better, I suppose
[00:27.22] I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
[00:31.49] For better or for worse, I've yet to know
[00:34.76] But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
[00:38.53] I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
[00:43.30] Suddenly I'm lost
[00:44.81] On my street
[00:45.57] On my block
[00:46.60] Oh why, Oh why
[00:49.86] Oh why haven't you been there for me?
[00:54.63] Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
[00:58.90] This time I think it's for real, I can see
[01:03.17] All the tree tops turning red
[01:05.44] The beggars near bodegas grin at me
[01:07.19] I think they want something
[01:08.70] I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
[01:12.22] And be calm.
[01:16.50] Be calm.
[01:18.76] I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[01:22.54] Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
[01:28.09] Be calm.
[01:30.85] I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
[01:33.86] "These days before you speak to me you pause."
[01:37.64] "I always see you looking out your window."
[01:40.90] "After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
[01:43.92] Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
[01:47.69] Says I should either leave or pick it up
[01:51.21] But with every single buck I've made
[01:53.72] I'm saddled with bad luck that came
[01:55.47] The moment I was baptized
[01:56.74] Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
[01:58.75] If only I could find my people or my place in life
[02:01.51] A when they come a'carolin'
[02:03.02] So loud, so bright, the theremin
[02:05.04] Will lead us to a chorus
[02:06.54] Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
[02:09.06] Oh be calm.
[02:13.34] Be calm.
[02:13.85] I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[02:17.37] I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
[02:22.16] Be calm.
[02:24.98] Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
[02:28.24] You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
[02:31.01] And everything's wrong
[02:33.79] It just gets so hard sometimes
[02:37.06] Be calm.
[02:39.33] I don't remember much that night,
[02:42.84] Just walking, thinking fondly of you
[02:46.62] Thinking how the worst is yet to come
[02:51.40] When from that street corner came a song
[02:54.67] And I can't remember the man,
[02:57.94] The panhandler or his melody.
[03:01.49] The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
[03:12.57] Oh be calm.
[03:15.83] Be calm.
[03:18.09] I know you feel like you are breaking down.
[03:21.60] Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
[03:26.90] Be calm.
[03:28.91] Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
[03:32.42] You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
[03:35.70] And everything's wrong
[03:38.21] It just gets so hard sometimes
[03:41.97] Be calm.
[03:43.99] Be calm.
