Suicide Shoes (by Steve Key (c) 2007)

I'm walking through Baltimore
Looks like Dresden after the war
Burned out rowhouse blocks
Liquor stores and pawn shops
I'm walking through
Feeling burned out too
I'm wearing my suicide shoes

In Fells Point I walk alone
Rusted rails and cobblestones
Streetcar beckons "Get onboard"
But the streetcars don't run anymore
I'm walking through
Feeling rusted through
I'm wearing my suicide shoes

By the door marked Emergency
They saved my shoes, my clothes, my keys
Two weeks later I get them back
And head off down a new track

I'm walking through a tiny beach town
Straight into the sundown
Barefoot on the sandy shore
A world away from Baltimore
I'm walking through
A world that's new
I left behind my suicide shoes
