Caleb Lionheart - Coney Island lyrics

Did you hear Disney bought Coney Island? Took down all the lights and rides? Leveled the whole pier? Did you hear the dreams we had as children Collect like dust on forgotten photo albums year after year? Or walls of sand built by children to hold back the sea? I bet you never sleep soundly Did you hear the mayor has trouble sleeping? They erected a monument; he beds beneath it on the street Did you hear the dreams he has for New York? Come and get your "culture" from poverty Or walls of sand built by children to hold back the sea I bet you never sleep soundly I bet you never sleep And I guess, I'm just tired of waiting For what I have to be taken away from me As the weathered boat dries gleaming on the hill A whiter sail catches the breeze And I bet you never sleep, soundly
