Lyrics
The gym floor at Marcus Garvey Elementary
smells like bleach and damp wool.
Your tie is crooked, Mister Davies,
you've been checking my ID since ten.
I swear you're checking for a pulse in the paper,
the slow, careful way you hold it to the light.
[Chorus]
(Sung by a different, ethereal vocalist)
Our quiet part of the city
A beautiful, borrowed name
[Verse 2]
You tap the laminate counter, a nervous rhythm.
Been a while since I heard a beat that slow.

[Chorus]
(Sung by a different, ethereal vocalist)
Our quiet part of the city
A beautiful, borrowed name
[Bridge]
It ain't the knockout that gets you counted out.
It's the standing here, taking all the little points.
The school bell rings high up in the clock tower,
sounds just like the ringing in my ear.
[Outro]
A beautiful, borrowed name.
