When we got to Boston

There was a TV in the room

You were glowing

Purple, green, red, black and blue

And the light

In the night

Slammed the door



And when we went downtown

All the babies laughed, clapped at our jokes

And when the doctor

Called it off you ran straight through the snow

Shut your eyes to see

But you didn't see me



Down in the dark halls

We knew that the stark walls said it all

And for the first time

I found the lines to a childhood memory:

"We have a choice

To breathe

And it's gonna be me"



And you may think you lost it

Take away

Yes you may think you lost it

Don't even wonder anymore

Erase your mind, turn round and slowly walk away

Slam the door



And you may think you lost it

Take away

Yes you may think you lost it

Don't even wonder anymore

Erase your mind, turn round and slowly walk away

Slam the door
