Light Rail Coyote |
Let’s meet in the city where |
The rivers cross bridges there |
Let’s float down into the stream |
Of rich and poor pioneers |
A kid from a western town |
Wants to be seen and go out |
Let’s borrow my parent’s car |
Let’s stay out all night up there |
And Burnside will be our street |
Where the kids and the hookers meet |
Diners and strip club junk |
Bookstores and punk rock clubs |
Water, Building and Sin |
(I'm as green as this blade in the grass that bends) |
Big Oregon city draws you in |
(In the wind that blows on the long weekends) |
A promise fulfilled or not |
(Where I take the bridge to the water fountains) |
Just hang on until the summer, it’s hot |
(And to gain the hope that the city brings) |
We’ll make our home water-tight |
Work all day, play all night |
And hope we’re not washed away |
By deceit or tragedy |
And Joan of Arc rules Northeast |
Where the poor and the hipsters meet |
The grid that divides us all |
The river makes final call |
Out at the edge of town |
Where airfield runs water down |
Coyote crosses the tracks |
And hops on the Light-Rail Max |
Water, Building and Sin |
(I'm as green as this blade in the grass that bends) |
Big Oregon city draws you in |
(In the wind that blows on the long weekends) |
A promise fulfilled or not |
(Where I take the bridge to the water fountains) |
Just hang on until the summer, it’s hot |
(And to gain the hope that the city brings) |
And if you wanna be a friend of mine |
Cross the river to the east side |
Find me on the eve of suicide |
Tell me the city is no place to hide |
Take me out into a sunny day |
Through the grotto or the promenade |
You came to me in the nick of time |
Thankful for the things I left behind |
Oh dirty river, come let me in |
Oh dirty river |
