Concrete & Steel

(from the album "Coney Island" - 2:00 sample)

Pardon me Lorianne
I'm moving along here doing the best I can
they say no one's quite the fool
but I said I am

Pre-Chorus:
got my tide
got my plan
got my friends
got my fiddle
take that ride
as far as you can
see if it bends
in the middle

Chorus:
Moon on the rise
concrete and steel
eyes on the sky
hands on the wheel
moon on the rise
shine on my face
I ain't sticking around this place
anymore

Cross-town autumn blues
stalled out, taking a smoke, and leaning-to
cop says "going home?"
and he says "trying to"

Pre-Chorus.

Chorus.

Take one deep lasting breath
let it out slow until you're clear
a little like sleep a little like death
a little like coming up for air

And in the night like a dream
red lights domino to a steady green
if you're going to make a break
you make it clean

Pre-Chorus.

Chorus.
