lyrics:
Is a man a man apart from others?
When an unknown person passes, do we feel the vacancy sign turn on?
The pulses pulsating
the wind awake from hibernating
the pulses they pass us
in a sleek drifting streak white snow
soul slow escaping
breath of the gurgle manholes vaping
soul in the plain street spotlight
free drowning in the stark white snow
you get lost in the city
you get lost in the city lights
we got lost
it was a time
it was another place
a state where arguing and listening happened
we were closer we were face to face
and we felt we were making waves
waves they were being made
by people who were appointed
by people who were appointed
by the people who our parents voted for
you get lost in the city
you get lost in the city lights
you get lost in the city
you get lost in the city lights
we got lost
the yellow dragons came by
and they brought with them a hurricane by
belching fire crushing steel
bricks were tumbled under heels
of shiny, shining, shiny pair
official shoes
oh can we hold out?
can we, can we, can we hold out?
they have broken through - we can't hold out
where have we gone?
where did we go?
you get lost in the city
you get lost in the city lights
we got
you get lost in the city
you get lost in the city lights
we got lost
we went into hiding
we went out to hiding
they thought we were capsizing
we're not gonna hide
What is the soul of the city?
The fundamental heartbeat,
the thickest blood coursing through its steel and concrete bones,
its copper veins
Who is the soul of the city?
Where is the soul?
