Oakland
Under neon signs
Across construction lines
Cell towers, homeless trees
Line the streets
Seventeen minutes away
A temporary stay
We're just real-estate
Overpriced, no escape
Third-floor glass-filled walls
Above the urban sprawl
Meet me in the library
Pocket poetry
Drove the ninety-two
Still, I'm a stranger to you
Oakland highway signs
Through your smokestack eyes
Oh I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
And under neon signs
Across construction lines
Eyes flash and faces pass
Full of questions never asked
Across construction lines
Cell towers, homeless trees
Line the streets
Seventeen minutes away
A temporary stay
We're just real-estate
Overpriced, no escape
Third-floor glass-filled walls
Above the urban sprawl
Meet me in the library
Pocket poetry
Drove the ninety-two
Still, I'm a stranger to you
Oakland highway signs
Through your smokestack eyes
Oh I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
I gave my soul to a lonesome mystery
And under neon signs
Across construction lines
Eyes flash and faces pass
Full of questions never asked
