One Little City Song Lyrics

One Little City by Po’ Girl

Backbone of the world pushed it on the sea
Cold sea push back got caught between
Up it sprawled a glass and steel army
Split the sky, take the sun’s glory
Tear the clouds stab the stars reflect it’s own authority
Challenged the land to a contest of beauty, it’s not its fault it failed
Challenged the land to a contest of beauty, it’s not its fault it failed
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing it’s a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing get back to the ground
Rare fog came round like mercy, forgave those sad unsightlies
Even urine slicks looked like treasure winking taking the block’s measure
Under asphalt cobblestone groaned, rusted street car tracks sighed
Blinked through the cracks, thought about time why they’d been left behind
Blinked through the cracks, thought about time why they’d been left behind
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing it’s a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing get back to the ground
