I met a kid in brooklyn and he pointed at the skies[00:00:00]

He had liquor on his breath and he had fire in his eyes[00:00:06]

He staggered at me and stumbled and I helped him to his feet[00:00:12]

I led him up the stairs and sat upon his balcony[00:00:19]

He wielded up his glass and waved it around just like a sword[00:00:24]

But one more sword of whiskey left me feeling pretty bored[00:00:31]

He said[00:00:35]

I'd rather take dead aim than shoot my pistol in the air[00:00:35]

I'd rather be a traitor than a man who doesn't care[00:00:43]

Oh oh oh[00:00:47]

A man who doesn't care[00:00:51]

Oh oh[00:00:53]

I met a girl here in ithaca[00:00:58]

She took to me at once[00:01:00]

I look just like her brother who had died when she was young[00:01:05]

She whispered me her secrets and she whispered me her fear[00:01:09]

And said so many things that I would never want to hear[00:01:17]

She tried to draw me in just like a sickness in the soul[00:01:21]

And said[00:01:29]

My little confidant together we must go[00:01:29]

If they ask you for your papers[00:01:34]

Just respectfully decline[00:01:35]

It's true I was born here but this country isn't mine[00:01:41]

Oh oh oh[00:01:45]

This country isn't mine[00:01:49]

Oh oh[00:01:51]

So listen well son[00:01:56]

To conversation[00:01:58]

And always take from the words of the people that you meet[00:02:00]

If you do this[00:02:04]

Better witness[00:02:06]

You might help a little still[00:02:08]

And out in california[00:02:18]

With an old dear friend[00:02:19]

We drank expensive burbon[00:02:25]

And we tried to talk again[00:02:26]

He looked out at his watch[00:02:30]

And ran a hand across his head[00:02:31]

Said[00:02:34]

I'm working in the morning[00:02:36]

Man I've got to get to bed[00:02:39]

I nodded yes of course[00:02:42]

And I was happy to oblige[00:02:43]

And we both took one more sip[00:02:46]

Before the gray light over skies[00:02:50]

He said one thing I remember every evening in these hills[00:02:53]

The sun may set on friendship[00:03:01]

But never on your bills[00:03:03]

Oh oh oh[00:03:05]

Never on your bills[00:03:09]

Oh oh[00:03:15]

So listen well son[00:03:16]

To conversation[00:03:18]

And always take from the words of the people that you meet[00:03:20]

If you do this[00:03:24]

Better witness[00:03:26]

You might help a little still[00:03:28]
