This is for nights when you walk around the city, and then see the truth.
The turntable spins for me, ’round and ’round
The city right of me makes its looping sound
Cars bound for cliffs or the direction of nowhere
It could be me there, but what do I care?
A bone shaking wind blows through my windowsill
Sitting here, i’m the only one that’s feeling it still
An ethereal echo of a passerby’s whistling
Or the lovers bus stop chance for kissing
A city can only drown out your own sound
But it takes so much to make pictures drown
(The wafting breeze of a midnight smoke
Awakens me gently when I began to choke)
They are gentlemen and ladies, gamblers
And lovers, fighters and drunken ramblers
The sick, the healed, the powerful are tamed
Angels born of nothing who need to be saved
I walk around the joint a fair bit to see
What lungs these streets breathe free
With. They all look so hard, but so fun!
They are all lost, looking for someone
Harrow not, twilight moon, so debonair
Pass down your beauty, give them air!
They see you alone, alone, alone
Up in the darkness, all on your own
Let them see you as they walk in full
Dress, past the crippled so frightful!
If our wind is blowing within your manners
Please see past our dresses and blazers
I don’t know them, I never did
I just let things slide, as I put on
my headphones
and sneak past the streetlight,
fading once again into the night
All routine;
The voyeur of class conflict
