Bottle Street ft. Ariana M Lyrics

My eyes could not believe

What stood there in front of me

The shopping cart sultans are kings of bottle street

Old Zeus was on his knees

When the sky split open

I could hear him laugh beneath the thunder barely coping

Cause he always said the winter'd never last

A beacon shining hope for more than

A brief respite, just a moment

We all wondered could it last then

I saw by-law roll through heaven

My heart beneath their feet

Our tarps around our kneck

Their shoulders square and proud

Their eyes had no regrets

They rolled like pack rat black cats

Collecting death in trash bags

All of our friend's belongings

Into the truck bed like a coffin

Squares of trampled grass was all they left

A beacon shining hope for more than

A brief respite, just a moment

We all wondered could it last then

I saw by-law roll through heaven

Where do you go from the zero mile

Over the bend and away for a while

Never forget that francophone smile

With the winter like summer when the poor felt rich

What do you mean that it ain't our home

Take our tents, our tarps, our hope

Make up signs so the tourists know

There ain't no bums in the park no more

A beacon shining hope for more than

A brief respite, just a moment

We all wondered could it last then

I saw by-law roll through heaven

You can't kick us out of heaven

I know you'll try

You can't kick us out of heaven

Or else we'll die

You can't kick us out of heaven

I know you'll try

You can't kick us out of heaven

Or else we'll die
