Wet Roads Glisten

Listen ends again into the desert street,

a strange kind of violence

And like a legend creeping down the alleyways,

it waves a hand to silence

All though we're not aware, there is a presence there

until we hear them teasing

Spitting curses, verses from the sacred books of long forgotten reason

Silken suits, the clicks of heels,

the midnight hour long decayed

The spirit moves till busker plays

till he wishes he could never played

But the street wise listen

while the wet roads glisten

Don't know what you're missing

I wouldn't carry you through this tonight

But the melody's here and the beats are all right

And though there's a risk from the street hood,

In the mist of the rain we can feel good

All though we're not aware,

there is a presence there,

until we see teasing

Stealing time in motor grime working like a lamp through the vampire season

Heaven, soothe, power versus dancers in to a groove

Moves through the inner sun with shinning proof

You've carried all the blessing you can see

That you were getting what you fear

Love lies close to all the hate you could've reared

Blue skies always under cloud that disappears

You've died too, but wrong thing, hear the song bring proof

Under life's wing, many cycling truth

A lover's fight, the blues patrol,

she tries to keep the cash she made

Out on the streets since twilight,

now she's wishing that she never stayed

But the street wise listen

while the wet roads glisten

Don't know what you're missing

Boys from the bar spilling out

Climbs into the car without a shadow of a doubt

Boys hit a drunk on the street,

passenger screams as he flies from the seat

Lives in a tangle or worse,

lift from the pipe of the night in a hearse

Lives in a gamble or more,

a lift from the plain day

A lift from the plain day

And the truth will set you free

From the broken lamp lying at the corner of a memory

Treasures to be found

Yes this is your town (x2)

I guess this is your town

Yes this is your town
