'At dawn, down on the streets, from pavement grills
Steam rises like the spent breath of the night'
And a hundred feet above the yellow lights
The bell breaks the silence

And people move as if they know the drill
The Spanish manners and the feline smiles
And a hundred broken hearted city nights
Are ending with violence

And the worn-out old antennas know it all
Cause they watch like fallen angels on the brink
When I look at city rooftops in the spring
It feels as though they hold the key to every song

I saw the bright lights of a revolution
Defeated by sadness
Trembling incredibly faded
Holy cross-eyed thinkers
Aching for the pleasant spiritual affection of a sonic dynamite
in the hot scenery of night
Then I saw Bob Dylan and Timothy Steele
On Desolation Road
I saw Anne Waldman leaving Alexandria
And it was burning, it was the end of the world
I saw a pair of blue jeans
I saw blue eyes and there I was
Trying to pick up my pieces and make it home

'At dawn, down on the streets, from pavement grills
We're rising like the spent breath of the night'
And a hundred feet above the yellow lights
A sigh breaks the silence
