Words and Music
by Raccoon
as recorded on Loose In The City
Deep
in the heart of the city where you gotta fight to live each day
I
saw an old friend of mine bow to his knees and pray
Along
came the red-eyed policeman - Sadly he did say,
“There’s
nothing here in the law books that says that you can’t stay right here”
And
people gathered around him to see if he was well
I'm
not the only one who heard him slam the gates to hell
From
a whisper to a tremble - From a tremble to a roar
Do
you think we finally found the keys to heaven’s door?
From
a whisper to a tremble - From a tremble to a roar
Could
you imagine if we had ten million more?
Well,
up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe
Flyin'
hand in hand with a new law for the land
Up
in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe
Flyin'
hand in hand with a new law for the land
Out
on the skyline I see a wave
I
can’t turn my head and run - I’ve got to be brave
Cuz
I have the key and I hold the key
Ain’t
no way that you can take it from me
Out
on the highway I know my role
Hangin'
on to an old street light
And
makin' half-dreams whole
I’ve
had the dreams - I hold them true
Sitting
here tryin' to figure out the next thing I should do
I’ve
had the dreams and I’ve seen the unseen
I’ve
got so much power that I’m busting at the seams
