Parkdale Blues

A neighbor says it's been around
Years since the seventies
Knows all of the people
Studied all their features arbitrarily

Says it's entertaining, the city block
Container once was proud
They're all passing through your sharpened
Point of view with their heads in the clouds

But I hear them late at night
Getting into fights
Calling into the dark, are you there?
You've got something for me

Parkdale blues, heard it on the news
Transmissions from the eye of the storm
Parkdale blues, all its made abuse
When they're down you fly up to escape, they escape

I'm looking for a light
All gritting at the light, maybe some change
The lift within the eyes
With gravity defied, I can tell it's no good

See what you can find
To satisfy your mind in the name I heard
How can they be so gone?
And they've been here so long, living all of this

They'd sing in a language
I don't fully understand
Talk so loud and sweats a rock
When the heat comes around

Parkdale blues, heard it on the news
Transmissions from the eye of the storm
Parkdale blues, all its made abuse
When we're down we fly up to escape, we escape
