ferrest - concrete gardens lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a time in every year
when the wind gets cold and the rich folks go away
to warmer weather
and the folks that stay at home
get used to the wind that buffers on their face
cause they ain’t got time to hibernate

[chorus]
i ride the old veins of an aging city
with botoxed scaffolding and concrete
and people think that it’s a dream i’m living
but they don’t see what i see
in these concrete gardens

[verse 2]
now i’m not saying we’re all selfish
cause we’re all human and that would make me a hypocrite
but how do we fix it?
i know it wasn’t always like this
how did we get here and how do we get away?
cause i’m afraid i might be part of the problem

[chorus] (x2)
i ride the old veins of an aging city
with botoxed scaffolding and concrete
and people think that it’s a dream i’m living
but they don’t see what i see
in these concrete gardens
[bridge]
diving birds of desparation
bodies on the pavement
i see lonely, lonely, lonely
lonely people

therapy is too expensive
so we dance the night alone
i see lonely, lonely, lonely
lonely people

[verse 3]
gardens made of concrete, flowers in the cracked cement
people sleep on sidewalks next to new apartment lofts
but no one wants to see this funeral pyre of a city
the cemetery of empty buildings

[verse 4]
outside the dakota, people singing “let it be”
fist fight in the park but they don’t see the irony
that they’re standing on the imagine
crushed flowers at their feet

[verse 5]
lights are out in times square advertising underwear
stopped in at a duane reade i heard someone tell me
that i used to be a diner
then a dive bar, then a gift shop, then a vegan cafe
[verse 6]
artists on the village find yourself on bleecker street
stop in at a cafe where you know your heroes ate
just to see the ghosts of a dead scene
that wasn’t that great

[finale] (x4)
i see lonely, lonely, lonely
(might as well live in a big city)
lonely people
(where nothing’s ever your fault)
