These Are the Fables

In coral and gray In submarine chambers One day It swam for the light The jewels that lit The cities that float there Cities in circles drawn perfect, complete Holding the secrets on my street My street, my street So come in and play The song of the siren It's commonplace You hear the voice rise In one wave And crash on your doorstep Making the circle here perfect, complete These are the fables on my street Ten thousand dancing girls Kicking cans 'cross the sky No reason why Why ask to pay yourself For the call of the wild You found this child So raise him And wind your back Come back to the river The currents speed by And hope the men fear The hammer comes down So hard on the evening Cracking the dawn of your Days are repeat These are fables on my street My street, my street Heaven shook Hell And down from its pockets The ring in your bell It fell through your hands Hang at your feet The doors that won't open Marking the journey of our friends complete These are the fables of my street My street My street, my street Lay down in glory, you're not alone My street, my street Lay down in glory, you're not alone
