Surrounding Me

Leon shed his overcoat
Put his head into the wind
Felt the chill run up and down
And he killed it with some gin
Oh he lived in the back of a beached Cadillac
Moon windows and power seats
His once hidden neighborhood
Is creeping up slow
And surrounding me
Surrounding me

Oh Sally bragged she was queen of the rags
Layered from head to toe
Paraded down the alley way
Only pigeons knew for sure
Why her throne was a box from an old Magnavox
Cause it kept out the wind an sleet
Her once hidden kingdom
Is crumbling slow
And surrounding me
Surrounding me

Steam rises slow
From the sidewalk grates

Oh, used to be I couldn't see
A diamond in the rough
Or listen to a tune that Frankie crooned
Without ever cracking up
But as Leon's headlights fade out of sight
It's easier to see
It's not what he drove away
But what he left behind
That's surrounding me
Surrounding Me

Steam rises slow
From the sidewalk grates
