Lost Canal
A restless night
You woke up halfway out the door
You struck a match and tossed it at your feet
And once you start, you find you're quicker than before
You're starting fast and always gaining speed
A crowded street
You push past folks who're in the way
And slip through cracks that noone else has found
You jump the steps. And the street slowly fades away
You never needed it to get around anyway
Did you push the cars away
Did you pour new concrete beams
Did you speed along the city's span
Did you cross the lost canal
Find the stations underground that show the place from where this city sprang
With each new park, you think that you might take a break
But nothing beats the calm of moving fast
You jump up high and take a photo of the tops of all the buildings that you worked in last
Did you push the streets away
Did you ever break your stride
Did it bring you to the water's edge
And when you found that lost canal
Did you tell everyone you know and march them all to see the other side
You woke up halfway out the door
You struck a match and tossed it at your feet
And once you start, you find you're quicker than before
You're starting fast and always gaining speed
A crowded street
You push past folks who're in the way
And slip through cracks that noone else has found
You jump the steps. And the street slowly fades away
You never needed it to get around anyway
Did you push the cars away
Did you pour new concrete beams
Did you speed along the city's span
Did you cross the lost canal
Find the stations underground that show the place from where this city sprang
With each new park, you think that you might take a break
But nothing beats the calm of moving fast
You jump up high and take a photo of the tops of all the buildings that you worked in last
Did you push the streets away
Did you ever break your stride
Did it bring you to the water's edge
And when you found that lost canal
Did you tell everyone you know and march them all to see the other side
