lyrics

The skyline is awful bright
And welcomes your gaze all night
One shake in the water line
The reflections they'll play so fine

Every inch has a gospel to preach
From the Point to the Montrose Beach
A cry for community
Crimes of opportunity

I tell you, the sound of sirens was soothing
A city sound, a city happening to me
Stranger comes, he says, man, what are you doing
Imagine that, acting like he knew me

The Pride of the South Side was on
For all of the Hyde Park dons
Too young and too hype to say
You better put the needle away

Sometimes you stare so low
That mistakes are all you see
Sometimes you stand so tall
You wonder did you make them at all

I'll see you on boulevards of lightness
Meet me there whenever your chest feels that tightness
We belong to the world of impossible things, you and me
Inverted shapes and endings that weren't to be

So make way a path for the fool
I tell you he's coming through
His only superpower
Is to forget on the hour
