And I heard radios bring ball games to an ancient glacial traffic

A starving dog was whimpering in pain

That sound check through the alley sounded like something close to magic
F Bb
For a traveling dad who's bound to miss his plane

A boomer on a cellphone talking through party provisions

Beneath that giant bullseye neon sign

Makes me think of dixie cups and pizza crusts and giant televisions

The allegory of the conga line

Now as the sun is setting
I meet my brother for a drink

F Bb
So I tell him about this move and how I didn't get the ending
F Bb
Why do they let the creature get away
F Bb
And he reminds me that all it is is costumes and pretending
F Bb
But there must be something else they're trying to say
F Bb
About these buildings and this asphalt and the natural habitations
F Bb
The pigeons, cats and rats and parasites
F Bb
This wild and dancing city conducting perfect orchestrations
F Bb
The way a stranger wishes us good night
F Bb
And he says every time we've sat here getting nervous for the future
F Bb
We've ended up some version of okay
F
These songs that we are singing
Bb
They shouldn't give in to the rumours
F G
They should give some kind of strength to meet the day

A joke in there some--where
