lyrics

I been perched at high rise windows
Since I took concrete for the field
I been staring out these windows
At the hungry city wheel

And I hear we’ve been wasting our time
Talking windfalls and flooding our minds
But we got hollows full of wild hope
Might look like fear in city light

So I been slapping cowskins now
Stretched tight across a drum
And I been bopping my knees up and down
Keeping time to no one

And I been dancing in hallways
But I play it down when someone comes
So for each and every long day
I get ten, I get ten forgotten ones

And I hear we’ve been wasting our time
Talking windfalls and flooding our minds
But we got hollows full of wild hope
Might look like fear in city light

Oh I been just a whale in the waves
I been showing my head but I don’t stay
Oh I been writing I been writing my days down
Been writing so much writing’s all I write about

And I hear we’ve been wasting our time
And I’m terrified of wasting my time
But we all got things beneath our bedframes babe
That find us in the day they find us in the day sometimes

So I will stare out of these windows
And I will see the city now
And as I turn the wheel and feed the flow
I will find the open spaces in the crowd

And I hear we’ve been wasting our time
And I’m terrified of wasting my time
But I got hollows full of wild hope
May it show in city light
May it show, may it shine
