lyrics

“Alone In The City”

Let's sit here waiting all alone.
Let's sit here waiting for the phone, to ring.
Let's sit here waiting in the dark.
Hand throwing shadows at the wall,
to keep me company.

To be alone in the city,
is to gesture at the white walls.
Waiting for life to begin with the next telephone call.
To be alone in the city,
is the only way to reach that sleeping stillness,
where your scream becomes you.

Let's walk down by the bridge tonight.
Lonely shadows looking for some light,
I can see you, y'know.
Just as you can see me.

As I walk your way, you nod and then you turn.
You invite me to light up the city, til it burns.
And there's a matchbox waiting in my pocket,
waiting for your sign to spark it,
to turn the walls dividing us into ash.

To be alone in the city,
is to gesture at the white walls.
Waiting for life to begin with the next telephone call.
To be alone in the city,
is the only way to reach that sleeping stillness,
where your scream becomes you.

New York Music Daily has heralded Avi's album-a-month project as "one of the most ambitious jobs anyone in the rock world has taken on lately". Damn straight. ... more
