And I'm walking with your ghost
Alone in Manhattan in my Vietnam sports coat
This cigarette will be my last
Mortgaging a future cause I can’t accept what’s past
since you asked….
New York is cold but I like where I’m living
There’s music down on Ludlow St if you care to listen
With alleyway prophets how we lost our religion
Did I mention that I lost it?
I Didn’t?
...Sin of omission...
A bunch of unlicensed Doctors rush to diagnose conditions
New York is cold but I like where I’m living
There’s music down on Avenue C if you care to listen
I spent your dowry on a weekend on the Bowery
Forgive me… Those people strangers
but we shared the same allergy
It's all failed alchemy
Mixing what we can...
Born to take a stand
Looks like all this borrowed time’s running out to me
Looking like he’s wired again…
Gambling and boozing
That ole Iverson retirement plan
Cracks in foundation, latent
Slow it down man he’s been around
Why you hatin?

And I'm walking with your ghost
Alone in Manhattan in my Vietnam sports coat
This whiskey will be my last
Mortgaging a future cause I can’t accept what’s past
Since you asked

This city’s filled with the same
drifting apparition’s
Only good at shifting blame
New York is cold but I like where I’m living
There’s music down on FRANKLIN if you care to listen
It’s 4 in the Morning the end of December
I wrote you a to see if things were going better
I guess that I miss you…
I guess that I forgive you
I still wanna sink any hardship that you been through
And I’m dining with your ghost like every single night
I crack wise cuz somebody’s gotta break the ice
