Look Down (fringe of the city)
They used to call it the bad side of town
Fringe of the city
With the vacants flopped down
Granite stones
Imperfect stars
That move like clouds
But don’t look now
They used to say it’s not safe yet
Anxiously waiting
For what we’d regret
I’m not saying
It’s gone and went without a little sentiment
But don’t look now
(look down)
And false stating of fear
(look down)
And the floor just disappeared
(look down)
And you swerve off of the road
Look forward
And there’s no where else to go
I told your Papì
I stopped taking you to
The avenues
Now it’s coffee shops
Vinyl and tofu
Well i’m not taking you no more
It’s too soft-core
But don’t you frown
(Look Down)
And it’s a false stating of fear
(Look Down)
And the floor just disappeared
(Look Down)
And you swerve off of the road
Look forward
And there’s no where else to go
I remember the jukebox so loud
Drowning out the 7 bullets
Wizzing around
Our lucky stars
Scattered on the ground
We grabbed a few
On the way out
(Look Down)
False stating of fear
(Look Down)
The floor just disappeared
(Look Down)
When you swerve off of the road
Look forward
And there’s no where else to go
(Look Down)
And it’s false stating of fear
(Look Down)
And the floor just disappeared
(Look Down)
And you swerve off the road
Look forward
And there’s no where else to go
