Down To The Wire

Wake up to the Biddle Street blues
 Can't shake the news
 All the way to the big dome
 They're trying
 The intrigues of the new royalty
 And the believers
 In the afterlife
 Share the same gamblers pages
 Cobblestone streets saw 3 sovereign flags
 As they raised their glasses to conquest and nation
 Still pawns playing out the legacy
 Of long dead industry titans and haters of men
 Feeling down to the wire
 Feeling down to the wire
 Plastic grocery bags fly from trees
 Proud symbols of a cavalier progress
 Memories and landscapes in triage
 Disappearing averages, permanent changes
 No jury will have a final say
 Everyone knows the jury is guilty
 Faced with no plan at all
 Just to trick a smile out of the moment
 Feeling down to the wire
 Feeling down to the wire
 Feeling down to the wire
 Feeling down to the wire
