The city’s growing greater

Oh, heavenly dictator

But the space between our sinew

Is a twisted wired labyrinth

Where you can’t recall what happened to you

Yet still I am reminded

Of waking undivided

Between words we’ll never need know

Wondering in silence

Sheltered from the violence below

Maybe we should move now

To the mountains or some beach town

And live off whatever our car’s worth

We’ll either be alone then

Or be followed to the ends of the earth

And if we are alone then

Could we remain hidden

Would we even belong

We were born inside this city

In its sorrowful and piteous song

But we feel it in our sinew

And we know now what we must do

‘Cause when the dark, it calls us by name

We’ll know we were alive once

And at least for a moment untamed
