Human Drama

Somewhere

Human Drama


Shadows run so mysterious 
Silhouetted as they pirouette 
Behind the stairs 
That take them farther from home 

17th street, Tenth Avenue 
The ice age fell so just deal with it 
Put your gloves in your pocket boy 
Let's go to war 

Light years from the parking lot I once played 
And the bed last night where I laid 
Open the curtains boy 
It's time 

Somewhere tomorrow's promise rings 
Somewhere a Sunday choir sings 
Somewhere is where I want to be 

Time Square, it's a carnival 
Were there lights? 
I failed to notice 
But twenty seven needles lay 
In the cracks where I walk 

For all the dreams and the saviors we once knew 
All the flags we waved without a clue 
Open the curtains boy 
It's time 

Somewhere tomorrow's promise rings 
Somewhere a Sunday choir sings 
Somewhere is where I want to be 

In New Orleans lies the punishment 
Distorted eyes look past the crime scene 
Year after year 
Waiting to be found
