The worn stone steps that lead up to your door
Make a pilgrimage to the 7th floor
I've come all the way from Wilderness Road
Lonely Street via Hungry Road
On a broken promise, I know
I made it this far, don't make me go
You know my estate, you know my malaise
I'm like a hate-filled city that's been set ablaze
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
And just found out what it missed
You check the news, you know what goes down
Everyone needs nourishment
I never really cared if you'd still be there
By the newsstand in the square
And I lost my passport, you got deported
Our Easter resurrection had to be aborted
We broke those promises, I know
We made this far then you had to blow
You know my estate, you know my malaise
I'm like a hate-filled city that's been set ablaze
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
And just found out what it missed
You check the news, you know what goes down
Everyone needs nourishment

I joined the Hare Krishnas for a while
I couldn't raise the necessary smile
I drifted in and out I guess my
Consciousness remains a mess
We broke those promises, I know
We made this far then you had to go
You know my estate, you know my malaise
I'm like a hate-filled city that's been set ablaze
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
Like a face that's been starved of a kiss
