The Village

Open your eyes, look the skies and stare
Let yourself in, unload your sins and pray
Listen to the streets, feel it through feet, and i will be there
Listen to the streets, feel it through feet, and i will be there

When all your friends skip the end, i will be around here
And when you're lonely this city sings you to sleep
Puts its arms around you.

This city's shining like a goldmine
Harpooned and dragging me to shoreline, now
Night comes and i'm glowing in the pub lights
Belly up and i'm begging for the sunshine, now

Open your eyes, look the skies and stare
Let yourself in, unload your sins and pray

When all your friends skip the end, i will be around here
And when you're lonely this city sings you to sleep
Puts its arms around you.
And if you've nowhere to go, there's only one place i know
Its the village it will drown you.

Ninth street and avenue b, i miss the days
Pack up my suitcase and fly away
