lyrics

Your howls are competing with the other hyennas
Gliding down the highway at dark
Your one working headlight shines like a compass
Reaching for your yard

There the city is
And there the city goes

North north north
You take your course
Knowing that I wont be long
Till the shine and the shimmer where the memories linger
All along our city lawn

This times always humid,
Till its not
You get caught locked out of your car
Just wanna hear that engine roar in between those yellings of yours

The city’s got a rainforest coming for us
You sure you wanna try the shore

South south south
Trying to get out
As the windowsills tap along
To our
stretching
and
yawning
Soaked
to the
bone,
Laughing
and lazy
city lawns

Then the town erupts
False alarm of the firetrucks
The sirens swoon in key
To the tune of your springsteen

He’s howling how its kinda hard
He’s singing that its sorta the same
Whether you were
Born to a new York city serenade
Or just bump into a city lawn
