lyrics

It was softer today
Still those grey sisters never closed
Stuck wide open in a bad vibration
The trains will pass them by, bodies in motion.
Neglecting designs of a terminal change

(chorus)
Red rivers poured out,
flowed once to transform into spiders legs (oh they always held the weight)
Nightside walk
hope breakfast is waiting when the ghost blows through the door
(oh, they travelled so far today)

Vertical thief
leaving detailed notes
in the least suspect of places
and like a blackbird to seed we're drawn to your words
but can never read what you wrote.

Swollen like an inner-tube
the sun takes its toll, boils wires splits a whole
it doesn't come as a friend, just comes in the end
to inflate the balloon and send it off in the wind

And the trains still pass them by
the grass grows thicker
those grey sisters didn't close, they just moved on.

The city sleeps tonight.
Tomorrow is another day.
