Lispenard St

We locked ourselves on the rooftop bare
The sun retreating fast
The sky gave way to the stuff of equations
We kicked stones down to the cars

I'll get by with a little help from my friends
But I know they will without mine
I took a leap, I came down crashing
The stairs held onto the night

I'd never heard the sound of the sea
We never found that cabin of his
Let off the brakes, I'm going in search of lost time

You don't know how it feels
Eggshells under the concrete
But hey! I walk these streets

Skip the cracks or trace their curves
A silver penny for your cares
I got my legs from the devil on loan
I'm gonna give them back well fed

Fallen empires big as whales
Eaten inside out
Staccato trumpet calls
Just commas on my route

I'd never had my own set of keys
The trapdoor taped under the sink
Let off the brakes, I'm going in search of lost time

You don't know how it feels
To know the creatures of the deep
I crawled beneath the trees
Pebbles lead straight back to me
You don't know how it feels
Blacked out lines run halfway in

They're under lock and key
I'm society's true thief

You don't know how it feels
You can't know how it feels
Hey! I walk these streets
