"Public Alley 909" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
It's the flag and it's the breeze
And it's the reason why the flag doesn't sag
It's a corner where the hydrant spills out water
On the flowers, on the sheet designer flowers
It's the meat that soaked for hours in the wine
Then dredged in flour, then shook up in a bag

It's the berries on the hill
Around the hospital we munched on
While you told me about hell, about the people down the hall
The ones that ordered you around around the hospital
Their uniforms were loaded with authority
Their faces looking beat

It's the street where all the kids screamed
On the corner where the hydrant spilled out water
It never let you sleep, there's always someone who'd come creep
Around the garbage smelling sweet
Because the landlord wouldn't sweep
Despite the phone calls, catcalls and the rotten meat

Perhaps the pig they murdered in the alley
And roasted by the garbage on a spit
And made another all-night party
You were screaming out the window
Being careful not to lean so far, you'd end up in the hospital
And all the while, I'm waiting for a bus to take me north
Where everything seems worse
It makes me blind, it makes me blush
It's just us, it's just us, it's just us, it's just us
It's just us, it's just us, it's just us

It's a dog and it's the many dogs I walk around the block
Sometimes they make me want to walk them 'round the clock
It's the lawn I mow in payment for the love I owe
That makes me wonder why I haven't something more to show
I changed my name, you're getting fat
That's not so good, although I'd hate to argue that
It seems you're only ending up where you were long ago
And when I take you for a walk, you're much too lost in thought
To see the hydrant on the corner where the doggies go
It's this garbage in your head that makes me wonder
If you're hearing what I'm saying
I wonder if you're wishing you were dead
Oh, you're not a pig, you know
It's your life in your hands
It's your life in your hands
It's your life in your hands
And now it's my life too, you're living me as much as you
It's a lesson you can't learn, just learn to trust
It's just us, it's just us, it's just us, it's just us
It's just us, it's just us, it's just us

It's just us, it's just us, it's just us, it's just us
It's just us, it's just us, it's just us
