[Verse 1]
In January, I took the short walk
Down to the Broadway bridge
Two and a half blocks
When you scrape the ice away
You can read the bridge dedication

[Verse 2]
I could feel the cold air coming in through my teeth
I saw the bridge, I saw the water underneath
That's a whole lot of water
That's a whole lot of water

[Verse 3]
I took out the key that I'd forgotten the function of
Twisted it from the keyring as the bridge loomed above
I hammered it against the ice
I hammered it against the ice
