Down To The Wire

Wake up to the Biddle Street blues
Can't shake the news
All the way to the big dome
They're tryingThe intrigues of the new royalty
And the believers
In the afterlife
Share the same gamblers pagesCobblestone streets saw 3 sovereign flags
As they raised their glasses to conquest and nation
Still pawns playing out the legacy
Of long dead industry titans and haters of menFeeling down to the wire
Feeling down to the wirePlastic grocery bags fly from trees
Proud symbols of a cavalier progress
Memories and landscapes in triage
Disappearing averages, permanent changesNo jury will have a final say
Everyone knows the jury is guilty
Faced with no plan at all
Just to trick a smile out of the momentFeeling down to the wire
Feeling down to the wireFeeling down to the wire
Feeling down to the wire
