Lionrock - Wet Roads Glisten lyrics

rate me

Listen ends again into the desert street<br />

A strange kind of violence<br />

And like a legend creeping down the alleyways<br />

It waves a hand to silence<br />

<br />

All though we're not aware<br />

There is a presence there until we hear them teasing<br />

Spitting curses, verses from the sacred books<br />

Of long forgotten reason, silken suits, the clicks of heels<br />

<br />

The midnight hour long decayed, the spirit moves<br />

Till busker plays till he wishes he could never played<br />

But the street wise listen while the wet roads glisten<br />

Don't know what you're missing<br />

<br />

I wouldn't carry you through this tonight<br />

But the melody's here and the beats are all right<br />

And though there's a risk from the street hood<br />

In the mist of the rain we can feel good<br />

<br />

All though we're not aware<br />

There is a presence there until we see teasing<br />

Stealing time in motor grime working<br />

Like a lamp through the vampire season<br />

<br />

Heaven, soothe, power versus dancers in to a groove<br />

Moves through the inner sun with shinning proof<br />

You've carried all the blessing you can see<br />

That you were getting what you fear<br />

<br />

Love lies close to all the hate you could've reared<br />

Blue skies always under cloud that disappears<br />

You've died too but wrong thing, hear the song bring proof<br />

Under life's wing, many cycling truth<br />

<br />

A lover's fight, the blues patrol<br />

She tries to keep the cash she made<br />

Out on the streets since twilight<br />

Now she's wishing that she never stayed<br />

But the street wise listen while the wet roads glisten<br />

Don't know what you're missing<br />

<br />

Boys from the bar spilling out<br />

Climbs into the car without a shadow of a doubt<br />

Boys hit a drunk on the street<br />

Passenger screams as he flies from the seat<br />

<br />

Lives in a tangle or worse<br />

Lift from the pipe of the night in a hearse<br />

Lives in a gamble or more<br />

A lift from the plain day, a lift from the plain day<br />

<br />

And the truth will set you free<br />

From the broken lamp lying at the corner of a memory<br />

Treasures to be found<br />

Yes, this is your town, yes, this is your town<br />

<br />

I guess this is your town<br />

Yes, this is your town
