about

Another potential tune for the new trio project.

Lyrically, this is a mess, but the idea came from thinking about how fragmented we are these days, and how that corresponds to our physical reality. Which put me in mind of the long-forgotten scenario in which large numbers of folks with completely disparate experiences and thoughts used to frequently occupy the same space. And the first image that came to my mind was riding an NYC subway car, with very different people looking out the same window, thinking very different things.

lyrics

She knew she’d sleep tonight
Without a tablet
If she could check it one more time
There’s nothing else they need 
they’ve got the number 
should penance ever fit the crime

Bridges and tunnels
 the edge of the world

Burning Brooklyn Bridge by night
 dreaming of the waves of love
Captured by the signal lights
Blinking like the stars above

He swore they’d move this train
So much faster
If only they could see his face
Or knew what he had packed
 so lean and careful in his
Worn-out old attache case

Bridges and tunnels 
the edge of the world

Got to understand, this is
Something different
A party for the end of days
How could you believe you could
Catch us in Jersey
We’ll swear we’re only stowaways

Bridges and tunnels
 the edge of the world

Burning Brooklyn Bridge by night
 dreaming of the waves of love
Captured by the signal lights
Blinking like the stars above
