about

I was inspired by seeing some homeless people in downtown Newark. The lyrics are written in their perspective for the most part.

lyrics

Your summer is my winter
Oh these layers lie
Your bright side seems dimmer
In my tired eyes

I’m tired
I’m lonely
I’m thirsty
I’m hungry
I got those brick city blues
Your best day’s my worst
I’m the last you’re the first
I got those brick city blues

Your silver lining, is my dark cloud
And the rains have come
Your peace and quiet, is my too loud
You have finished, it seems that I am never done

I’m tired
I’m lonely
I’m thirsty
I’m hungry
I got those brick city blues
Your best day’s my worst
I’m the last you’re the first
I got those brick city blues

How can you walk a mile in another man’s shoes
When he ain’t got no shoes on his feet
It ain’t how he got there, it’s how he’s gonna get out
I wanna taste that thrill of victory, not that agony of defeat

I’m tired
I’m lonely
I’m thirsty
I’m hungry
I got those brick city blues
Your best day’s my worst
I’m the last you’re the first
I got those brick city blues
