A Song Is A City Lyrics

The city heart will beat to a rhythm of flashing lights

People honk and wheel in cacophony of an endless night

And the reflections glistening like phantoms in the evening rain

Turning the portraits turning them into picasso fame

A song is a city

A clock wondering why

Anticipation defacing the margins

Of a favourite lie

And you know it's alright

To be going your own way

And you know it's alright

Crashing the same car over and over again

Watching the people watch the people

The people watch

Breathing steady pendulum pacing

Nothing wasting (unless it all is)

A song is a city

A song is a cloud

All fallen to ruin

While cars go cruisin

And you know it's alright

And of course mary loves jane and andy too

Everyone got their lives that must be more important than you

A song is a ghost

Chasing the dead

Graffiti invading

Accepting excuses and lies instead

A song is a city

A clock wondering why

Anticipation defacing the margins

Of a favourite lie
