LYRICS

As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block

Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time it's for real, I can see

The tops of trees are turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.

I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
and when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

@lipstickonthemirror1 haha i think i do little girl... By telling me i dont know what real music is, your pretty much saying Black Sabbath, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Sex Pistols, Tool, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine, johnny cash, neil Young, Rush, Metallica isnt real music because that is what I consider, real music to be.. Not this shit. Queen was gay and still! rocked harder then these guys ever will.. Pop music is shit, rock for life..

[lipstickonthemirror1]

@RapIsForMorons you clearly don't know what music is....

[MoltenMustafa]

@RapIsForMorons Wow what the fuck man

[tediousturkey]

@imsweetize Well there is Morgan Freeman and Freddie Mercury so yes.

[PersonNo1]

@RapIsForMorons Even the music you hear on Disney Channel is a work of art, Mr. I'm-30-years-old-and-still-lis­ten-to-Metallica-and-watch-Dis­ney-Channel.

I work at a call center where I'm yelled at and verbally abused over the phone for eight hours a day. On one particularly long day, I was feeling rather crappy and knew it was only a matter of time before I blew up on someone. I finally took out my iPod and put this song on repeat. I'm not kidding when I tell you I must've listened to "Be Calm" at least 50 times back to back. It never got old, it just got me through a really shitty day at work. Thank you, fun. for helping me keep my job!

[PedroMdSCFerreira]

I can't be calm when I hear this! this is so fucking exciting!
