Lights On the Levee
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 are not too many locals
In the place where I'm working
A poison jams love but they
Hold onto pretensions
They don't want to go home
The ivory girl spent some time
Walking the levee
I saw them there cos that is where
I'm usually looking
They wanna keep dry
When I look around, nothing's coming down
When's the flood gonna take me out
Could be to today, who cares anyway
We got all the world to run
Lucy Mae Maximus baby
You want me to invade
But Jesus told me nothing pisses him off
Like those who misquote him
He wants to get straight
Some kids got excited
And rode their bikes on the levee
When the lights went out
I know they had drown in the valley
The river don't care
No one to guard the row
Everyone stays alone
He just fell out backwards from the overflow
When I look around, nothing's coming down
When will the water wash me out
