These Are The Fables

Lyrics

In coral and gray, in submarine chambers
 One day it swam for the light
 The jewels that lit the cities that float there
 Cities in circles drawn perfect, complete
 Holding the secrets on my street
 My street
 My street
 So come in and play the song of the siren
 It's commonplace, you hear the voice rise
 In one wave and crash on your doorstep
 Making the circle here perfect, complete
 These are the fables on my street
 ♪
 10, 000 dancing girls kicking cans 'cross the sky, no reason why
 Why ask to pay yourself for the call of the wild?
 You found this child, so raise him
 And wind your way back, come back to the river
 The currents speed by and hope the men fear
 Hammer comes down so hard on the evening
 Cracking the dawn of your days are repeat
 These are the fables on my street
 My street
 My street
 
 Heaven shook Hell, and down from its pockets
 The ring in your bell, it fell through your hands
 Laying at your feet, the doors that won't open
 Marking the journey of our friends complete
 These are the fables on my street
 My street
 ♪
 My street
 My street
 Lay down in glory, you're not alone
 My street
 My street
 Lay down in glory, you're not alone
