lyrics

Average City Street
V1
Traffic passing, blue lights flashing, the sound of rain against concrete, the slow decay of a reckless day on an average city street.
V2
Fairground posters, roller coasters, shop front signs say up for lease. Graffiti masters on damp grey plaster, on an average city street.
Chorus
Knowledge is a fibrous root, each new generation will stem from. An old man said the essence of youth, is wasted on the young.
V3
Dealers dealing, squealers squealing, lovers argue as they meet. Daydream dreamers, and late night schemers, on an average city street.
V4
An angry heart, a troubled start, tattooed tears and blackened teeth. The grip of time and the life of crime on an average city street.
Chorus Same
V5
The pretty people’s park is a no go after dark and the grounds keepers ringing his bell. Its cardboard and bridges, needles and stitches. This is where the fallen have fell. The moonlights a sliver, dancing on the river and the water is a no man’s land. The harsh reality between pain and ecstasy is coming together hand in hand.
Chorus Same
