lyrics

Every breath is different
All the air is gone
Every second that we spend breathing
Is another breath we’ve wasted time on
Staying is a form of surrender
Leaving is a form of defeat
Whitman and Sinatra,
Larry David’s mantra
And Woody Allen stalking the street

Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun

Took the 5 to Atlantic
To see what they say is a team
We ‘99 Believers have had about enough of those who
Wouldn’t know The Glove from The Dream

Hurried back to Manhattan
On that quintessential Manhattan line
And thought about the reasons it hasn’t been electric
In the Garden since Van Gundy resigned

Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun

Beauty in the eyes of the homeless
Silence as a source of alarm
A New Yorker’s sense of safety can hardly be distinguished
From a notion that even fear has its charm

Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun
Reaching for a Gun
