lyrics

I moved to the city because I thought
Something would happen
There I could find my promised land
And join the pilgrims

Only I never left my room
I slept whilst signals loomed

Asphalt is making promises
Streetlights bear witness over here

Unreal city made up in my dreams
Mapped out in my sleep
Let's go and get good and properly lost
Like Bobby Frost

Concrete is so easy to hate
So let's ambulate

Now I'm stood in my yellow wood
The road to take forks in front of me
Asphalt is making promises
Streetlights bear witness over here

Can we make sense of this concrete palimpsest?
My own geology of memory's metropolis
