Sounds of The City
Song A Day #1571
F
Take a little piece of action
A
And you put it in your heart
Bb
Get your satisfaction
C C7
As you tear your mind apart
Dm
Underneath the covers
G
When the lights are all off
Db
The sounds of the city
C C7
Go up in flames like a Molotov
She was brooding on the front stoop
In a wedding dress
He walked by and caught her eye
But the color of the sky made him distressed
Petals fell around her
She pulled them to her skin
He was looking across the street
And she was busy looking at him
There was a sound like thunder
And my ears perked up
I looked in wonder
But the sounds of the city did interrupt
Losing my balance
I fell into the street
A passing dog walker
Stared and made the scene complete
But I wouldn't trade it
This every single day
Good luck leads to bad luck
And bad look leads to good again
The mood is all around here
Expectant and uptight
Somethings coming and everybody knows it
Everybody clutches their flashlight
Summer is a feeling
That you can't escape
It'll wrap it's warm hands
Around your neck and you'll drift away
Spinning on the sidewalk
The drumming of the cars
Boom ba boom. Boom ba boom.
The sound pounds you no matter where you are
Try to understand it
Try to let it go
Try to make it something
A sense that you get from way below
Try to put it in a drawer
And forget that's where it lives
Summer is a feeling
That takes way more than it gives
