Watch it fly away, like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
It flutters through the canyons our fathers engineered
with nowhere else to go
but through the walls
with nowhere else to go
but through
through the narrows
the lined monuments
the garrisons of avenues to clouds
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars
Watch it fly away, like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
It shivers on the screen, just a luminescent square
with nowhere left to go
but through the rain
with nowhere left to go
but through
through the city
a never-ending
devouring of the sky by iron shrouds
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars
Watch it fly away, like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
It flutters through the canyons our fathers engineered
with nowhere else to go
but through the walls
with nowhere else to go
but through
through the narrows
the lined monuments
the garrisons of avenues to clouds
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars
Watch it fly away, like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
It shivers on the screen, just a luminescent square
with nowhere left to go
but through the rain
with nowhere left to go
but through
through the city
a never-ending
devouring of the sky by iron shrouds
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars awake
Tonight, I'm sleeping on the fire escape
Tonight, I'm keeping all the stars
Watch it fly away, like a sparrow
Like a sparrow
