flicker on wet stone standing on a rooftop watching all those headlights bleed pink and green across the overpass ain't nobody slowing down for me rain come down so steady put a mirror on the street every car that passed me going somewhere Lord I don't know where I need to be city don't know your name city don't owe you a thing just them lights keep moving through the dark like they born to burn and disappear like everything lamppost standing lonesome throwing gold on all that black buildings full of strangers keeping warm I been trying hard not to look back them trails of light keep curving like a river finding low something in me wanted to follow something old and tired said let it go city don't know your name city don't owe you a thing just them lights keep moving through the dark like they born to burn and disappear like everything yeah the rain don't ask permission and the road don't hold your hand I just stood there wet and watching trying to understand trying to understand
