Holding Down the Fort
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.
Staring down de sky, she can squeeze
The heat out of the rain
Store it in her eyes
When she pleases, ease your pain
The metropolis at her door
Spinning round and round
She can handle this
Tame the lights and the sounds
Singing
Day in day out
She's no letting any doubt weight her down
Pushing ahead, keeping ills and dramma off the ground
She's holding down the fort
Shooty things and night
Chewing out of the pipes and dray
Wired is the crow rolling with the refrain
Weary man at her door asking how
The sweet smile, every day, every hour
She says when warner tastes sweet
You know, something inside turned sour
Day in day out
She's no letting any doubt weight her down
Pushing ahead, keeping ills and dramma off the ground
She's holding down the fort
Day in day out
She's no letting any dawn store her down
Pushing ahead, keeping ills and dramma off the ground
She's holding down the fort
