Last night, late, I was watching it snow |
|
It always goes sideways in the city |
|
It comes right out from the streetlights, you know.., |
|
Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core |
|
It goes sideways in the city |
|
Cover the shapes and erase the date |
|
This could be any evening in any place |
|
The blizzard blows from left to right |
|
Which is funny cause the piano's playing "Summertime", from 1935 |
|
So sounds the alarm of Ragtime |
|
It's Ragtime keeping time |
|
Brave to the waves of its residue |
|
Its laughter from a marbled room |
|
The white-crowned sounds of possible |
|
The sound that lures me |
|
It says, "Don't you hurry |
|
Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you |
|
We'll see you when you're ready." |
|
Its gravity is soothing |
|
It winds me in a sleek cocoon |
|
I'll reveal myself when I'm ready |
|
I'll reveal myself invincible soon |
