Sister City
How Much
On the cloudiest night through a satellite's eyesYou can see itThe people below throwing stones Sleep in attics and basementsThere's a war we all know and we're scaredThat we'll have to go fight itSo for several years we've just fought one another to spite itThe final frontier has been clearedNow it's closed so we're clingingTo what we've got leftOur few honest attempts at a livingAnd halfway around the worldPeople are dyingAnd on birch street the leaves on the treesLaugh but look like they're sighingI want to knowWhere you think you are goingAnd god help your soulIf that's what you believeFor a couplet I soldWhat was left of my integrityAnd I don't have goalsBut I do have an apartmentLetras de cancionesIn a city full of peopleAnd a subtle, sinking feelingWe're all equalsI wouldn't expect to hear those words from youSo I bid a fond farewell with this excuseI want to know what I don't knowI want to know what no one knowsI'll learn to swim so I will floatOr I will tread water and gracelessly sink belowLike death is a puzzle and I learned where the pieces all goSo on every goddamn cloudy night through every eye of every satelliteI am foaming at the mouthAnd with every stone you people throw at bleeding hearts and broken bonesI am laughingAnd that war we'll one day have to fight is as visceral as a synapse firedI am waitingI shook the hand of father time I spit in my own and I looked him in the eyeI am not sorry
