lyrics

There once stood a barrage of brownstone colonies
Through the alley, ‘round the corner
The cement blocks piling up in vivid colors
Drowning swiftly is the former

Can I get just a little something?
Maybe just a little slice
Otherwise I won’t belong to anyone
I want the life of a yuppie in paradise
So I’ll view all the new as a step in the right direction

As a child, the pharmacy diffusing lollipops
Through the cross streets on the corner
Standing in its place is a chain coffee hole
Burial ground of the former

And I was wondering
If I could peer inside the past for a minute
To see the world again as if I didn’t know
What I didn’t know

Headed west ‘til the horizon and I shake our hands
Going somewhere, getting warmer
My feet can’t carry fast enough from the promised land
Take me back down to the former

Could I get just a little better at taking my own advice?
