Cityscape

Sewer rats and house cats Share a moonlit waltz in an underpass While a band of bums plays their broken cups Shakes their yellow pennies in dirty rum Oh the city looks pretty tonight Lonely men sift through remnants Of a church bell toll, that holy droll Hangs overhead, laughs in their face Tells them time has changed, they're still the same The city look different tonight Window dwelling children sit in cellars Packed with cobweb maps, they Squint through glints of streetlight To see Heaven but no luck tonight Oh the city looks like Heaven to me The sky unfolds its eyelids The sun slowly rises over Snoozing, subdued dog walk And beeping, bruised alarm clocks The city woke me up today
