Long Gone West - The City Waits

Sophie's standing on a bridge
Looking out over the town
And the streetlight makes an amber isle where she can be alone
Beyond, sirens swell and sweep then swiftly doppler off
Sophie sees it all from the safety of her island
Beyond, the world lays in wait
Like a lion with a lamb
The wild city waits
So hold on

In this pool of light
Sophie dreams of her new life
And removes all the things she can recognize
In this pool of light
Sophie sees with her own eyes
How the moon and the stars are mechanized

And the moon is watching everything that happens on the ground
All the miracles that keep this nightmare spinning round and round
The goons, greed, and grace notes keep it greased and running sound
As the bodies race to keep this wreck from running aground
And the bodies race
And the great men grow
And the road runs red
With the brake light glow
And it all just takes just a little
Takes just a little bit out of your heart
You know it takes just a little, takes just a little bit out of your heart
So Sophie pray, and hold on

In this pool of light
Sophie dreams of her new life
And removes all the things she can recognize
In this pool of light
Sophie sees with her own eyes
How the moon and the stars are mechanized
