Cities At Night

Of the gauze of the day fading, tired and in between
So we do the evening, and we do late-night TV
Sometimes our friends showed up
And sometimes we lost 'em
Gone in the laughter as August turned into Autumn

It took all day of turnin' the wire
It took us away from Friday night
To Scioto playin' in suspended light
And darkness softly fallin' city-wide

Good weed and Gloria made the grade
Godspeed, you warriors, may your souls be your sight
Is this the way we will battle on far-flung nights?
The lights fall down upon this riverside

And the sounds of a memory go up and spread out
Dreamt through the king's belly and we came to like
A city at night

In the gauze of edit and bounce, tired and culled
From the shadows and from it all, April calls
It took all day of turnin' the wire
And Scioto plays under the bridge tonight
