SEATTLE WALKING BLUES

 (w/locations where inspired)

There’s a hole in the city                   (Red Apple removal – 23d & Jackson)

where its heart used to be

filling up with concrete

deep as the sea                                   

Every rose has a garden                     (Neighbor’s yard – over the fence)

every spider has a web                       (All week - my yard)

But I don’t have a bed to sleep in       (Not true, I do)

Crows are bedraggled                         (3d & Jackson)

pavement’s hot

my engine’s running

and my brakes are shot

Blocking up the intersection               (4^th  & Jackson)

bees in my head

pedestrians are pissed

wishing I was dead

Every rose has a garden

every spider has a web

But I don’t have a bed to sleep in

Sure wanna’ leave here                      (Neighborhood)

would really like to go                         (not really)

and believe me brother

I’d go fast, not slow

Million dollar houses                         (Neighborhood)

coming up on every block

people walking ‘doodles

never look to talk

Every rose has a garden

every spider has a web

But I don’t have a bed to sleep in

No I don’t have a bed to sleep in

Don’t even have a bed to sleep in.
