        Tears of  joy at the birth of a brother

        C      Bm             Am/A Am/B Am/C Am/D Am/E

        Never alone from that time

        Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger

        Strangely why his life not mine

        West side skyline crying

        Fallen angel dying

        Risk a life to make a dime



        Lifetime spent on the streets of a city

        Make us the people we are

        Switch blade stings in one tenth of a moment

        Better get back to the car

        Fallen angel

        Fallen angel

        West side skyline crying

        fallen angel dying

        life expiring in the ..



        Snow white side streets of cold New York City

        Stained with his blood all these times

        Sick and tired through wicked and wild

        God only knows for how long
