The Ledge - The Replacements

All eyes look up to me

High above the filthy streets

Heed no bullhorn when it calls

Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

I'm the boy they can't ignore

For the first time in my life, I'm sure

All the love sent up high to pledge

Won't reach the ledge

Wind blows cold from the west

I smell coffee, I smell dough nuts for the press

A girl that I knew once years ago

Is tryin' to be reached on the phone

I'm the boy she can't ignore

For the first time in my life, I'm sure

All the love sent up high to pledge

I'm the boy she can't ignore

For the first time in my life, I'm sure

All the love sent up high to pledge

Priest kneels silent, all is still

Policeman reaches from the sill

Watch him try to try his best

There'll be no medal pinned to his chest

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore

For the first time in my life, I'm sure

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore

For the first time in my life, I'm sure

I'm the boy for the last time in my life

All the love that they pledge

For the last time I will not reach the ledge
