Into the City Songtext

Well you floated in on a cotton candy cloud

Out of your desert and into the flood

But the cobblestone mud seeped into your crown

Oh, the silent crowd could melt you down



I rode in on you into this city

I'll ride out on you if everything falls

I rode in on the rhythm of a Greyhound guitar

With the pulse being kept by the rain


Well I heard your voice as the tiles gave way

And the third rail came into view

On an upbound round of a downtown train

And anyone can take a piece of you



And I can't help but wonder as the faces roll past

Did she leave anything behind?

I stare for a moment from behind the glass

Drowned out by the train engine's whine



I rode in on you into this city

I'll ride out on you if everything falls

I rode in on the rhythm of a Greyhound guitar

With the pulse being kept by the rain



Neon moondust shines in Times Square

The pulse of the alleys echoing

In a cab going downtown, I am found, New York



I rode in on you into this city

I'll ride out on you if everything falls

I rode in on the rhythm of a Greyhound guitar

With the pulse being kept by the rain
