From the recording Only Losers Write on Bridges
The corporate jungle, the journey across bridges into the city, the losing of 'self'.

Lyrics
The One Thing
I break my back just to break even, carving lifelines in my hand
Is that my shadow on the pavement, is that my footprint in the sand
Will you give me back the one thing, the one thing that is mine?
When you are riding on your dawn train, on your chariot of steel
Under flags of old opinions, with your masters at your heel
Will you give me back the one thing, the one thing that is mine?
I have tasted acid raindrops, I have burned holes in the sky
Everywhere I look it’s broken, I can’t look it in the eye
Will you give me back the one thing, the one thing that is mine?
