Glitterati

A stopwatch and a heart full of darkness
Your battered cabs set sail like ships at sea
When no one is around, your glittering
Storefront grates pulled down
The highways are alive with the likes of you

Oh I know, your conversations
Burrow through the walls
Your words they make their way into my mouth

The shotgun’s going off in the harbor
Where the west side highway falls into the sea
There’s no one here but us
Two hearts collide and turn to dust
And the whole world opens wide in front of you
