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
