Lyrics

[00:13.38] Last night, late, I was watching it snow
[00:19.11] It always goes sideways in the city
[00:24.84] It comes right out from the streetlights, you know
[00:30.30] Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core
[00:34.00] It goes sideways in the city
[00:36.29]
[00:48.01] Cover the shapes and erase the date
[00:53.80] This could be any evening in any place
[00:59.48] The blizzard blows from left to right
[01:02.76] Which is funny cause
[01:03.75] The piano's playing Summertime from 1935
[01:08.66] So sounds the alarm of Ragtime
[01:14.46] It's Ragtime keeping time
[01:16.89]
[01:28.49] Brave to the waves of its residue
[01:32.03] Its laughter from a marbled room
[01:34.88] The white-crowned sounds of possible
[01:37.64] The sound that lures me
[01:40.62] It says, "Don't you hurry
[01:43.16] Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you
[01:46.42] We'll see you when you're ready"
[01:48.52]
[02:26.93] Ragtime turning out the sun and moon
[02:30.22] Its gravity is soothing
[02:33.08] It winds me in a sleek cocoon
[02:36.06] I'll reveal myself when I'm ready
[02:39.86] I'll reveal myself invincible soon
[02:43.63]
