13 / Becoming a Man

EVAN, spoken

I'm Evan Goldman. I live at 224West 92nd Street, in the heart of Manhattan And my life just went to hell

Picture me:

Just another cool kid in NYC

Near the park and the Met

Life is sweet:

Yankees in the Bronx, pretzels on the street –

Just how good can it get

Who’d have guessed

Dad would meet a stewardess

Mom’s depressed

And her lawyers are mean

Now I’m stressed –

Life is a disaster

And I’m cracking from the strain

Going totally insane

And I’m just about to turn

Just about to turn

Just about to turn

EVAN

Everything switches

Everything turns around

End up in stitches

Find a way underground

Can I get through it

Life has changed overnight

How do I do it

Nothing is going right EVAN KIDS

ALL

The best and the worst

And the most and the least

And the crazy and the scary

And I’m standing on the edge
