The Ledge Lyrics - The Sire Years - Replacements

All eyes look up to me 

High above the filthy streets 

Heed no bullhorn when it calls 

Watch me fly and die, watch me fall 

I'm the boy they can't ignore 

For the first time in my life, I'm sure 

All the love sent up high to pledge 

Won't reach the ledge 

Wind blows cold from the west 

I smell coffee, I smell dough nuts for the press 

A girl that I knew once years ago 

Is tryin' to be reached on the phone

I'm the boy she can't ignore 

For the first time in my life, I'm sure 

All the love sent up high to pledge 

I'm the boy she can't ignore 

For the first time in my life, I'm sure 

All the love sent up high to pledge 

Priest kneels silent, all is still 

Policeman reaches from the sill 

Watch him try to try his best 

There'll be no medal pinned to his chest

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore 

For the first time in my life, I'm sure 

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore 

For the first time in my life, I'm sure 

I'm the boy for the last time in my life 

All the love that they pledge 

For the last time I will not reach the ledge
