A riot of lights on 10th and Park tonight
The coke stings your nose
White vultures show their bones
Full bright and bodies whine in dismal lines
The specter's a hit you sunk an hour ago
A riot of ghosts and a scream of waves
Steals from the seams below your feet
And you ask yourself to settle down
Their murmurs slur in awkward notes
And the moon explodes in straight wire lines
That jut across this blighted sky
And these sounds compound and call the names
Of infants found in shallow graves
Cold sweat, the city burns your eyes tonight
As she stokes the fire in you, turns your head
The sky strikes and lightning bursts in and cries from God
You've been a sinner, drink your medicine
