I budget bribes that are doled out freely
It is a living
So now you visit me
I have the help you've been vainly seeking
Namelessly seeking
Blanching at naming
I wouldn't promise the sun to the sky
Nor something better
Softer and warmer
But all you must do you have done already
The world won't change greatly
Won't change so greatly
Rainfall into cars
Warm sun on snow day
All you've done remember all you do
This city sleeps I am sure it does
I hear it breathing
Steam in the morning
I praise the round earth as we meet on the corner
The hospital called me
And asked if you're happy
Blade of the earth in a shiver resounding
The buses still empty
Endless per morning
This city sleeps I am sure it does
The lawns they are planting
Steam in the morning
One cry to bear repeating
Engines scream in the distance
You're welcome since you've seen
Dust fall
From my bare feet
This I feel
I leave behind
This city sleeps I am sure it does
