Street Singer Lyrics


You've sirened your pride in
With banners flying the nation,
And they all read "come see about me".
We both bend in strong winds,
But it seems we all can't fend the break,
So stay brave if your arbors fall.
You're under lock and key
And I could break in but I've never been a thief.
All done with this old place,
With the romance of sunlight on your face,
And friendships too much like disease.
Dear sovereign, I'm thinking that passion
Left town when your heart did.
(You're at it again)
But you used to beat the bright out of the sky.
You steal meaning from seasons,
Break silence like a bone of mine.
Come closer, or don't come at all.

You're under lock and key
And I could break in
But I've never been a thief.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Growing up in a working class family on Indianapolis' Southside, I always dreamed that there was something more to adolescence than the mind-numbing sense gratification of drugs and alcohol, the false coolness of smoking cigarettes, the comfortable security of apathy towards world events and the ridiculous posturing of cock rock heavy metal bands like Bon Jovi. In 1988 - at fourteen - I stumbled upon what I believed that "something more" to be - straight-edge hardcore. I had already become well versed in thrash metal and old-school West Coast punk rock like the Dead Kennedys.
