the hillbilly thomists - new city lyrics
i had some good times down
there in baltimore town
ten hills to patterson park
where the neon fog
from the harbor crawls
to settle on federal hill
woe and strife’s
got a hold on tight
they won’t let this poor city go
’cause there are dirty streets
that the rain can’t clean
fog that the sun can’t burn off
[chorus]
but there’s a new city lit by the lamb
sung by the seraphim band
where all manner of things will be well in the end
in that new city
above thе sunset strip
where thе laurel drips
tears from those hollywood eyes
i took a canyon road
like a vein of gold
chasing some jangling dreams
fear and trembling shake these hills
won’t let these poor people go
and there are graves unmarked
over griffith park
dreams that have sputtered and died
[chorus]
but there’s a new city lit by the lamb
sung by the seraphim band
where all manner of things will be well in the end
in that new city
i heard some honky+tonk
down in b+brown’s bar
the nashville kid’s l!cks filled the room
and i tried to dance
and i laughed with my friends
we held what we could not contain
decline and fall so fancy and tall
they build these things all over town
and tear the good ones down
like old b+brown’s
i can’t find my way round no more
[chorus]
but there’s a new city lit by the lamb
sung by the seraphim band
where all manner of things will be well in the end
in that new city
i dwell, i mean
i’m making my way through this city
it won’t last, but i will
i’ll seek that city to come
take a metro walk
you can count every stop
from brookland to capitol hill
so tired at night
some wretch just might
look into somebody’s eyes
kicking and screaming so many go
i wonder if they know how they came
no eye has seen
nor ear has heard
the good things the lord has prepared
but there’s a new city lit by the lamb
sung by the seraphim band
[chorus]
but there’s a new city lit by the lamb
sung by the seraphim band
where all manner of things will be well in the end
in that new city
in that new city
