Bowery Beat

lyrics

Bowery Beat

The money burns, the people fled
The building’s dark, the pillows red
The fever hangs, hands on fire
The mind is gone into the night

Sorrow sails onto the ledge
Halos fall down to the neck

The tables turn, nail the doors
Lock the windows, embrace the floors
Fall asleep to tales of woe; the silver sun is shining low

Yet still they haunt and still they reel
To little songs on a bowery beat

The bag is full of rocks and wheat
Still they stare to distant fields
The tears ran red, the fire went blue
The bodies fell, the bird it flew

Tomorrow we'll be far away
Drag our dreams into another day
