                    the street's alive
                     we're not alone
our legs move like well-oiled gears and i know we're never going home
there is a dwarf on the corner with a cup in his hand
a black hat on his big head he sings a little song and then the sky turns red

               just now
               when i catch sight of you
               in the burning sun

you strike me as mean-spirited

let the dwarf come out
let the old songs come
the scales tip back
and the arpeggiates can ruuuuuuuuuunn once i knew what to say to you
now the words will not come through and i love you underneath a red sky
but for the life of me i couldn't say why

just now
when i catch sight of you
in the burning sun
you strike me as mean-spirited
