lyrics

nature's all around
the city dream
floods me like a shadow in a valley

cracklin underfoot
glass like snow
but the tomcat's still cry is always friendly

the sky is cloudless with breath
and crawls like a cricket
the song'll keep its own watch

some prefer the view
from way up high
like a balcony or a rooftop or a tree

we've run in circles all
day here but look!
no one leaves unless you meet them in the street

the fear of safety in groups
is what keeps us violent
the shops retreat from the street
with their floor-length glass skirts
the treasure glows from the ground
to pique my attention
but now who's been here before?

it may be i am surfing corners
turning to get in the way
to watch the shadows in the street move
back and forth in perfect time
but i'd rather walk beneath a brick
umbrella than a pane of glass
i'll amble down the underground and
watch the block fade as i pass
