Sandpeople - The City Sleeps lyrics
[Sandpeople - The City Sleeps lyrics]
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we
Wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line
I reach out and touch you
From the vocal booth
You pay a large fee when
Your enlightenment is overdue
This is a substitute from your
Day to day living spree
Of sidewalks and traffic 'cause
Life stops for magic
Soundly, the city sleeps
Where are the dreams?
I put sand in the machines
Till my horizon is clean
I'm not observin' the patient
I want the servicе I'll be assertive and
Takе it while I'm burning your stages
Driftin away on my ocean of
Notebooks and paper cuts lazy shrugs
Even when I scream nobody's wakin up
Morning will come
And you will understand my science
This is a life taking agency
You are the clients
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we
Wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line
As the light of the moon
Starts writing a tune
I take a breath that accepts
What I'm tryin to do
I'm just, eyin a view, and digestin the few
New thoughts this block has got for my crew
As the city gets sand trapped hands clapped
Will voices in the air echo around the map
From the void that is there when
Ya'll are takin a nap
This is a world that is rare
And I'm tired of that
Yo I'm, wired and act like I acquired a knack
For livin life on the edge
When I'd like to relax
I'm concise on the track as I
Tight walk the night starts
Sleep through the day and I'll
Rise when the light drops
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we
Wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line
It's sun down a run down
Neighborhood is shut down
Sidewalks seem to envy nicer blocks uptown
And under bridges lot of
People sleepin underrated
Lucky it's a summer night cause
Some are slumber stated
Wonder wait's till all ones hope moves
Known to glow in the face
And folks are grace and grotesque
Toast to good taste
And flow both and food waste and
Chose not to look both ways
When walkin down the street where
Homeless people stayin at
And you ain't got change and you
Need to change your act
And you'd like to change lanes but
They die to change your habitat
So before you complain about addresses
You been payin at
Some are livin Murphy's law and you
Can bet they be obeyin that
An empty man sittin in an
Empty park after dark
Empty can, empty hands, empty head
Empty heart
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we
Wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we
Wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line
I reach out and touch you
From the vocal booth
You pay a large fee when
Your enlightenment is overdue
This is a substitute from your
Day to day living spree
Of sidewalks and traffic 'cause
Life stops for magic
