Urban Serenade Well the night is hollow and warm yeah lost somewhere in that swarm little angels mixed up in firefights scatter trails off into this misty night me I'm on a downtown train runnin' lightning off the rails looking for that little girl to blow heaven into my sails And it's fourth of July all the colors burst in the sky over this dead city comin' back alive dancin' on the edge of knife dancin' for you fragile life groovin' till half past dawn watch them corvettes ride until they're finally gone I'll sing out my wounded pride in an urban serenade song A symphony of sympathy plays yeah devil girls killin' you in a gaze got the boys mixed up and confused eyes gotcha all battered and bruised me I'm on a mission headin' into a storm of guitar chords searching for that little girl to rattle all my floorboards Yeah it's fourth of July all the kids just wanna get high and this zombie city stalkin' me tonight danglin' from a streetlight bangin' out a guitar bite oozin' till half past noon watch them pretty girls smile bright white as a full moon I'll sing out my ragged style in this urban serenade tune Hey darlin' wontcha say you'll be there in a pinch eyes water, hair asunder, I feel my mouth clinch ready for the sock in the jaw huh like I really care at all anyway I'll still keep on carryin' on like a screechin' stray cat garbage cans spilled out on the lawn hey you know where it's at singin' the blues, the jazzy groove, urban serenade song Rumblin' hearts on the line out there you'll find a highway sign between the cops and the borderline you know they shoot me down every time but tonight it's gonna work out fine hey it's gonna hurt just fine So whaddya say twist o' fate are ya gonna let me keep that date with the crazy girl from the promised land let her hold my hopes in the palm of her hand and when the night gets too cold to run away let the moon shine on our lil' carnival in decay Hey city, stay pretty, let that crazy girl keep by my side come hell or high water in a broken down carousel ride let lost sons and daughters get found up and down the strand the right time, right place to make their final stand they're out there chasing shadows on the frozen turnpike tonight angels wrapped in ribbons n' bows dancin' in and out of the light dancin' away my midnight fright of losin' until everyone's gone of cryin' out this serenade song but I know it's gonna be alright yeah it's alright hey it's alright yeah it's all alright feelin' outta site and all the words that I write hey darlin' I write 'em for you so baby let's groove till half past dawn play them blues, that jazzy ol' groove my urban serenade song Yeah it's fourth of July all the colors crown the sky over this dead city comin' back to life dancin' 'cross the edge of life dancin' happy husband and wife groovin' from dusk till dawn watch that ol' highway run until we're finally gone I'll sing out my ragged lungs that sweet summertime shade song my urban serenade song "Negotiations & love songs are often mistaken for one and the same."--Paul Simon |

"Yeah it's fourth of July all the colors crown the sky over this dead city comin' back to life dancin' 'cross the edge of life dancin' happy husband and wife groovin' from dusk till dawn watch that ol' highway run until we're finally gone I'll sing out my ragged lungs that sweet summertime shade song my urban serenade song" Like the song. Your "Urban Serenade" Had me wanting to hear the melody at the bridge. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
