Pavement Prophet

Indigo flashes on 14th street
Mute machine glitter pictures of youth relief
Every time's the same despite the advances
We'll circle 'round again looking for fresh romances

There's something in the way she moves
An excuse for anything to fool the ruse

It's a dark age that takes its time to chip away
When scriptures from the pavement prophet creep into the day
She says, "Son, you sing along you know the words.
What doesn't kill you hurts."

You got it
You had a heart to carry on now coming undone
When faced with destruction you had a heart to carry on
It's hard to carry on

The streets are paved with a lifetime of recompense
Every mile an extension of that missed moment
But in the end, who knows if it was right?
Every road leads with you in sight

You got it
You had a heart to carry on now coming undone
When faced with destruction you had a heart to carry on
It's hard to carry on

You're on
You're on
You had a heart to carry on
You're on
You're on
