Lyrics
Magpie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a man on a street
With a wide stance and a gun
He's wearing a face mask and I ask
If he has an extra one?
He says not for today
Now, please, step back 6ft away
I wish he'd ask me how I was doing
I wish I could say okay
But even the cobbles are lonely today
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
I saw a magpie out my window
I thought 'bad lucky'
And then another came along
I discard my superstitions
When they don't work out my way
I'm decidedly blue
And blue is how I will stay
Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say hello
Until the only feel that exists
Is a fear we already know
Not a fear that silently closes
Every bar, every public room
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom
Even lady liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say hello
Until the only feel that exists
Is a fear we already know
Not a fear that silently closes
Every bar, every public room
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom
Even the cobbles are lonely today
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Even lady liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
