New York Blues

(lone vein)
2004-01-01
lyrics plain jane/ music evil eddy
A post 9/11 song.At the time and STILL it's too overwelming...............
But we keep on keeping on
"for the sake of the children for the sake of the pets."
NEW YORK BLUES
Hot jazz in the city
Blue and red neon veins
It’s like oz the emerald city
And we all came
From rooftop to parking lot
Skipping through poppies
From park aver to loisada
Red shoes sparkle and shine
Click your heels 13 times
Your home
No longer alone

Baby shake your tail feathers
Shake your money maker
For the sake of the children
For the sake of the pets

There’s always a trumpet in the air
And a moon to walk you home
A mix of chaos and discipline
And prophesy to come
But this was a blood moon
Foreboding and filled with murder, corruption and ruin
Red shoes sparkle and shine
While the wicked witch rides the sky
Your home
No longer alone

Baby shake your tail feathers
Shake your money maker
For the sake of the children
For the sake of the pets

Chorus

So when the buildings crumbled
And the stoics stumbled
We stood silent and amazed
At the mass grave that lay open
Already full of memory
Too big of a moment
Monumental chill in the wind
Eternal bumps on the skin
Who did you call?
Who did you see?
When the ash was flying and sticking to the trees?
It’s still your home

Chorus

You’re out of the woods
You’re out of the dark
Step into the sun
Step into the light

Last stop Broadway Lafayette stand clear of the closing doors
