Garden City Blues - Silkworm

This is the place that I miss the most but

This town is full of ghosts and I

Always feel like I am inside the throat of the devil here

And I can’t I can’t hide

It’s the press of unseen stress and

Days that drift and days that stretch and

For no reason I can catch I’m in danger honey now

Invisible

It’s all around me

Time is winding down

So loudly

Give yourself a kiss if you can

Stay with it

Could you stay with it all night

Run me dry like a dragonfly you

Take me up water tower hill yeah

Locked up tight on a dripping night

You were out there somewhere still

Light pretends to feel my face and

Time tries to fool me

Well there’s a tract house over this mountain top

That can hear me coming round

Closed doors

Boarded up houses

Half racks by the railroad track and

Those days are over now

You can never turn back

By the time I surround this place I’m

All out of malice

I’m falling into a state of grace

That I can’t get out of

Bundled up against the elements I know

Time tried to fool you too

I’m climbing back over that picket fence

As the snow starts falling down down down

Little bells ring

Machine sparks sing

I’m going nowhere in december

See if I can fly

Fly it all night

All night all night long

I’m picking up I’m going strong

I keep pushing all night all night long

I’ll sing it loud my one chord song

I can fake it all night all night long

These tracks go on and on and on

Yeah I can ride them all night all night all night all night long

Into the garden city I’m on the rise
