Lyrics

[Verse 1] You were born inside of a raindrop I watched you falling to your death And the sun, well, she could not save you She'd fallen down too, now the streets are wet [Verse 2] Body of water, toxic and timeless Atlantic Ocean, New York skyline I always get lost when I leave the village So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night [Chorus 1] But I sing glory from my lowest And I will say peace to the people I meet While the world waits for an explosion That instant of life that wipes the slate clean [Post-Chorus 1] So don't be fooled, no, don't get lied to Love was always cruel And don't act strange, don't be a stranger It happened to me, now it's happening to you But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Well if I could tame all of my desires Wait out the weather that howls in my brain Because it seems that it's always changing The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain [Verse 4] Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record I was a camera until I went blind And now I'm riding all over this island Looking for something to open my eyes [Chorus 2] But I still sing glory from my high rise And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks While the world waits for an explosion That moment in time when we'll be set free [Post-Chorus 2] So don't stay mad, just let some time pass And in the morning you'll wake feeling new And if I don't come back, I mean, if I get side tracked It's only cause I wanted to I'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue [Guitar Solo]
