Words and Music By Dan Styslinger

lyrics

On the sidewalks
Of the city
I slipped and fell
And felt a swell
Of a blood rush to my head
And you thought that I was dead

In the silence
As the sirens
Flash their lights
Like neon signs
In a speak easy saloon
Man I hope they get there soon

Didn't you know?
If the weekend never ended
We'd have nowhere else to go

I saw those photographs you took
Of the view from up above
You'd never show

On the sidewalks
Of the city
You showed to me
A factory
Where the music all got made
A momentary masquerade

You're a back to back surprise attack
You're a running back's asthma attack
You were an absent attendee
A fucking mid=day mystery

Like Cleopatra
Of the suburbs
The birds will chirp
As he usurps
All that was left behind for you
All that you were born into

And you asked me
"What would you do if it happened to you"
I said "I've never been a rich man
I've always been a sports fan
I've never owned nothing
But I've always done what I can"

"So what went wrong?"
I went looking for the answers
But more questions came along
And when I finally thought I knew
I had this great and grand breakthrough
I'll never know
