lyrics

This everlasting city, it saved my soul
arcing cranes, the octane, broken window panes, the rock and roll
I leaned on the shutters and breathed in that heat
that june july august when it’s too hot to sleep
just let the sweat drip, lie in your bed
keep that phonograph spinning, keep that needle fed
cause when that stops, the clouds break, ripple into rain
that beat on her eyelashes that beat on my brain

and when that starts up, you can’t just take a pill
let the headache overtake you, and in time it will
you’ll either die on the sidewalk, your breaths to be ending
or live in a promised land with a promise pending

when the sun sets down where the sheets are torn
and the living rooms deserted, identity is born
It really turns me off to listen to the train
screaming ninety degrees ready to faint
O the black bolts and iron, the skyway’s like a gun
rusting and loaded, how these kids run
o’er the sea of cryin eyes I see from my window
but for when the day dies and the storm clouds billow
a broken flow of headlights endlessly cross
I’ll stay till she falls and I’ll leave when she’s lost
keep etching on asphalt, ideas and creeds
place a bullet in their engines and kill all their speed

the comet like voices that swirl through my room
the spinning tops and bears that fall ripe from the loom
and tapes spin too, cassettes playing memories
graffiti tattooed on my mind’s cemeteries
her eyes burn like two red lights, they are two red lights on the towers
that I’ve starred at for all those morning hours
before the drunken exodus the birdcall awakens
when the silent night’s peace is screamed at and shaken

when the dawn bleeds life from the degenerates’ ball
and the reverb is alive and hushes over all
the tall trees rustle dressed in full summer leaves
the chimes from neighbor’s porch sound in the breeze

that’s when skin is warm and pressed
to the nearest living thing or whatever else’s left
