Naked City
The street breathes, shuffling by,
Never pausing to hear a cry,
The pavement crawls on unaware,
Filled with people who don't care

The city sleeps with no regret
A live cold rundown brick casket

Window eyes watch dingy streets,
Endless cars drive rythmic beats,
Everyone rushing with nowhere to go,
Welcome to the human show

People chisel my epithet,
A marble slab of human debt

I'm just one pair of vacant eyes,
Hid beneath a pile of lies
I just stare out one window,
Watching a city go to hell below

The city sleeps with no regret
A live cold rundown brick casket

Children,
Fax themselves to school
From grimy street corners
Dancing with Crystal Meth Monkeys
Servants awaiting distant summons
Of the cell phone chapel bell
Rung in the alley palace

Hey man,
You gotta' stop pulling your hair out in blood clots,
Cuz' you're out there Way out there

Redemption is the key
But I can't find it
