Pores Lyrics

Springtime in the city and the windows open up like pores

I can hear who's winning through the cracks in my neighbor's floor

But it's still so early, ain't nobody keeping score

I want more

And everybody's buying candles for their new front rooms

And the bus stop smells like department store perfume

And the hummingbird sings a car commercial tune

Through and through

It was a holiday weekend but I needed something from downtown

There were 5.4 million prayers getting thrown around

And the youth group was carrying a cross through the roundabout

I want out

Springtime in the city and the windows open up like pores

I was drinking in the morning with some veterans of foreign wars

They said it's been so long, why is anybody keeping score

What's it for
