Freedom Bridge

Amy was a waitress at the Fire Street Grill
Up Route 611, she was slaving for the pill
Huxley's got her pupils pinned up, junkie centerfold
With gray hairs and a death wish, she was twenty-two years old

Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Specialist J., a much more honest man than you
Came back from the desert where he'd never found the truth
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall

Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, they took it all

Something happened on the way to hell
The new car, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old car, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it

McTernan was a good old boy, he cheated and he scammed
A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin
Some they see it different, but some don't see at all
When the papers started calling, closed his eyes and took the fall

Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear a sound
Red and blue lights screaming, saying, "Step off of that ledge"
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead

Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Something happened on the way to hell
The new car, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old car, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it

Something happened on the way to hell
