Lyrics
CROWDED STREETS John W Townsend
DUSTY CITY
STARTS TO YAWN
LIFE EMERGES
SUBWAY SPAWNS
PEOPLE MOVING
ALWAYS IN A HURRY
NO TIME TO SAY HELLO
NO ONE SPEAKS
TOO EACH OTHER
PERHAPS AFRAID
THEY MAY DISCOVER
A WORMHOLE
OUT OF THIS PLACE
TO SOMEWHERE BETTER
---------
CROWDED FOOTPATHS
FILLED WITH
VACANT FACES
PEOPLE LOOKING
LIKE
THEY ARE CONFUSED
THE MORNING SUNRISE
DID NOT
EXCITE THEM
SAME OLD LIVES
THEY
ARE NOT AMUSED
----------
STREET CLEANER
CLEANING UP THE GRIT
WHISTLING A TUNE
HE HAS'NT MASTERED YET
NEWSPAPER VENDOR
SELLING THE NEWS
OH WISHES IT VOULD BE BETTER
SMELL OF FOOD
SOMEWHERE ITS COOKING
FOLLOW YOUR NOSE
TO JOES CAFE
SIT DOWN
TOAST IS TOASTING
SERVED WITH YOUR LATTE
-------
instrumental
-------
CROWDED FOOTPATHS
FILLED WITH
VACANT FACES
PEOPLE LOOKING
LIKE
THEY ARE CONFUSED
THE MORNING SUNRISE
DID NOT
EXCITE THEM
SAME OLD LIVES
THEY
ARE NOT AMUSED
---------
SOON EVERYONE
WILL HAVE ARRIVED
THEIR DESTINATION
ON TIME
CITY NOW LIKE
POSTPONED EXPECTATION
UNTIL THE NEXT RESSURRECTION
A DUSTY CITY
SUNLIGHT HIDDEN
NEVER MORE THAN
HALF LIGHT REFLECTION
DOGS BARKING
SO MUCH MORE
THAN PEOPLE ARE TALKING
THIS IS THE CITY
-----------
CROWDED FOOTPATHS
FILLED WITH
VACANT FACES
PEOPLE LOOKING
LIKE
THEY ARE CONFUSED
THE MORNING SUNRISE
DID NOT
EXCITE THEM
SAME OLD LIVES
THEY
ARE NOT AMUSED
-----
EVENING COMES
THE RUSH HOME HAS ENDED
TABLES AND CHAIRS
OUTSIDE JOES CAFE
SIT EMPTY
STREET CLEANER ON HIS EVENING SHIFT
PICKING UP THE CITY GRIT
HE STILL HAS'NT MASTERED
WHAT HE WHISTLES
BUT HE'S HAPPY
AND CONTINUES
JOE OFFERS HIM
A CUP OF TEA
BEFORE HE CLOSES HIS CAFE.
------
CROWDED FOOTPATHS
FILLED WITH
VACANT FACES
PEOPLE LOOKING
LIKE
THEY ARE CONFUSED
THE MORNING SUNRISE
DID NOT
EXCITE THEM
SAME OLD LIVES
THEY
ARE NOT AMUSED
