Eastbound - Ola Podrida

Big city calling, I hear the echo outside

There’s something so frightening in this deep western sky

I wish it was simple saying goodbye

Comfort me later, now let me cry

Will cracks in the pavement bring me some sort of truth?

Will they find some way to remind me of you?

Will the train running eastbound help me remember my part?

Will this wish for release fill the holes in my heart?

The sky filled with phantoms in their towers of light

And lovers so restless give themselves to the night

If you cut me wide open and you looked deep inside

Would you find something deeper than this worrying mind?

This room is too empty and these streets are too wide

And I don’t have the patience for this pain to subside

So I’m off to the land of litter and lights

Where rats in the tunnels keep the ghosts up all night

I’ll learn the streets slowly, maybe find someone new

We’ll drink up the sunrise and wake up with the moon

But I’m not so stupid, I’m not such a fool

To think that I’ll stop, stop thinking of you

I’m not so stupid, I’m not such a fool

To think that I’ll stop, stop thinking of you
