Mississippi swells I know
ever drawing lines to another time
to the sirens of Chicago
or Memphis's eerie glow
not quite cause he chosen so
But if dreams were drawn to drown in such a small town
so your instincts made you go
you reflect on things you now know

Like how Cindy said it all seems the same
imbedded in patterns you don't notice
features out of focus its a shame
the flashlight just falls in the direction your headed
you just knew there's nothing to gain
no measure of light among the sightless
immobilized and righteous
it was pain so you pointed your beam in the direction of anywhere

and though urbanity is not without its flaws
You found the time and space

you need to sharpen your claws
and hone your eyesight on the skeletons upon
which all your little interactions carry on
those that are visible and not metaphysical
and not the anatomy of everything

So when I got to your city
it was summer, it was pretty
and we walked around because we had the time
And you remarked on all the places that you hadn't seen in ages
disconnected from the metro city lines
and on the closed doors of the fire station
testament to force displacement
shocked me so to see it from the ground
what seems to functional from great heights looking down

but cities observed from planes
at some point so deceptively all start to look the same
you get distracted by the light below the clouds
That seems to shine on through the night you know and how
it seems so little to someone

feel the brightness of the sun
only skyscrapers shine
the tallest buildings do define

[Trumpet Solo]

And in letters now you wonder
in the lights your living under
and the vantage points you get to even come upon
you dream in transportation infrastructures the bus station
and the blocks between the shops light's flicker on and off and on
and my imagination to travels those streets
thinking of places and the people that we meet
and conversations with strangers on bus seats

like you and Arthur on the 28
45 fading flip side of the day
and saying oh and its magical and cool
a place where cities and star-scapes collide
I think of the people alive and awake on magnolia street side
the living room lamps and the headlights of cars are like fireflies in the night sky
