Overpass

We are stranded at the lights
With extraordinary distance
Covered in a blanket
Of northern snow
I am your protection
The last line of defense
I'll try to keep my promises
To all of your friends

I don't have a coat
We don't have a car
But honey if you're patient

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines
Like the neon violence in my blood
So red and white and out of our control

You swore it on your life
You wouldn't get so tired
But I can hear you crying
Over the phone
This as such is failure
Wholly on my part
To rectify our balance with
The credit on the cards

I don't have a hope
But if you have the heart
Honey if your patient

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines
Like the neon violence in my blood
So red and white and our of our control
Do they drown their young in Hudson waters?
Bring their children with disorders
Into the night and the dark Northern Cold

You see it in their faces
Strong against the white
Fighting with the angels
For glory and pride
And we are not peculiar
But am I not at fault?
This is the arrangement
And what I've been sold

I don't have a coat
We don't have a car
But honey if you're patient
The city isn't far

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines
Like the neon violence in my blood
So red and white and our of our control
Do they drown their young in Hudson waters?
Bring their children with disorders
Into the night and the dark Northern Cold
It shakes and rattles through the ward; A lightning bolt across the door
Fluorescent like the visions in my sleep

So much braver than our present life
A golden factory of light and
You'll live long enough to catch its beams
