Lyrics
(Dicky Barrett/Joe Gittleman)
Introduction of the songwriters, Dicky Barrett and Joe Gittleman.
standing stiff on a cliff and I'm not gonna leap,
Expressing hesitation or fear, standing on the edge of a cliff.
checked out the water but it's much too deep
Contemplating the depth of the challenges ahead.
no going back there's no turning around,
Committing to a decision with no option to turn back.
so I'll stay here and wait God I hope that I'm found
Awaiting resolution or salvation with hope.
my [7x] thoughts were in knots but I couldn't get to sleep,
Struggling with tangled thoughts and insomnia.
went up to the attic to see what to keep
Sorting through belongings in the attic for clarity.
threw out the useless and now it's bone-dry,
Discarding unnecessary things, leaving emptiness.
but I still couldn't die and couldn't figure out why
Feeling unable to escape the difficulties of life.
no way, no how, no what? what now?
Expressing disbelief or uncertainty about the situation.
the place is packed I needed that
Finding solace and purpose in a crowded, lively place.
the bottles cracked I'm glad for that
-a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
-the place is packed I needed that
Reiterating the positive impact of the lively atmosphere.
the bottles cracked I'm glad for that
-a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
-the attic was empty and my eyes were shut,
Feeling lost and uncertain, seeking a solution.
I had to do soemthing but I didn't know what
Recognizing the need for action but unsure of what to do.
the darkness was nice but it wasn't enough,
Finding comfort in darkness but realizing it's insufficient.
the clock wasn't stopping so I had to get tough
Confronting the relentless passage of time.
get tough, get up, get out, get tough!
Urging oneself to be resilient and face challenges.
the place is packed I needed that
Reveling in the lively atmosphere and the escape it provides.
the bottles cracked I'm glad for that
-a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
-the place is packed I needed that
Continuing to celebrate the positive impact of the environment.
the bottles cracked I'm glad for that
-a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
-got up and out and found out it was raining,
Encountering obstacles but not letting them dampen spirits.
the car lived then died but I wasn't complaining
Experiencing setbacks but maintaining a positive attitude.
hell bent for action and it had to be out there,
Determined to find excitement and action outside.
I walked then I ran hoping something was somewhere
Actively seeking something meaningful in life.
before too long it didn't take long,
Quickly finding a place that feels right and settling there.
this place came along and I ended up here
Expressing gratitude for the lively atmosphere, the escape, and the joy it brings.
the place is packed I needed that the bottles cracked
-I'm glad for that a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
-the place is packed I needed that the bottles cracked
Reiterating the celebration of life in the vibrant environment.
I'm glad for that a good nights rest? forget about that
-I feel alive in this dive so I'll drink to that
