It's so cold and wet
I can't hold my phone
It slips to the unforgiving concrete
and covers more ground
No one knows where I'm around.

More lights flash on by
Major accident
the traffic goes back for miles
Firetrucks pass on through.

It's been too long
why does no one care for me
where I am
I walk ahead

along the wet dark crowded road
5000 pairs of headlights
pointing to
nothing in sight.

My shirt begins to weigh down upon me
like a robe of great magnificence
but as far as the general population can see
To few do I hold any significance.

The lights slowly fade into view
the reds the blues, all the hues
Ambulance speeds on by
I sure wouldn't wanna be that guy.

Now I see the tape
the debris
the skewed metal and paint
glass that crunches under my Reeboks

5 miles ago did I start my walk
with one goal in mind: homeward bound
but now I learn a terrible truth
now I cannot stay alone tonight.

After that wicked party
that everyone said was off the hook
I was going to go to Camden Yards
for a family affair.
