lyrics
(a needle drops) Third winter now. Nobody moved it. (nobody, nobody) His bike's still chained to Mercer's fence The seat gone soft with three years' rain I cross the street in my own defense Then cross right back and say his name (say his name, say his name) Still chained — some things you don't unlock Still chained — his key's in my old coat Still chained — the headstone of our block Still chained, still chained (mmm... still, still) Ma keeps his sneakers by the door Wiped clean like he's just running late She sets a plate; I did before Now I just sit and watch her wait (running late, running late) Still chained — some things you don't unlock Still chained — his key's in my old coat Still chained — the headstone of our block Still chained, still chained (still, still) I bought some bolt cutters in May Stood there an hour in the cold Then put them back and walked away Some rust is worth more than the gold (a car rolls past, slow) Still chained — some things you don't unlock Still chained — his key's in my old coat Still chained — the headstone of our block Still chained, still chained (mmm...) (the sample runs out) Third winter. Nobody moves it. Nobody will.
