You were born inside of a raindrop
I watched you falling to your death
And the sun, well it could not save you
It'd fallen down too, the streets are wet
Body of water, toxic and timeless
The Atlantic ocean, New York skyline
I always get lost when I leave the village
So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night
But I sing glory for my lowest
And I will say peace to the people at me
While the world waits for an explosion
That instant of life that wipes that slate clean
So don't be fooled
So don't be lied to
Love was always cruel
Don't act strange
Don't be a stranger
It happened to me, now it's happening to you
But if you take that train underwater then we could talk it through
Well if I could tame all of my desires
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
Because it seems that it's always changing
The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain
I was a postcard, I was a record
I was a camera until I went blind
Now I'm riding all over this island
Looking for something to open my eyes
Well we still sing glory from a highrise
And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks
While the world waits for an explosion
That moment in time when we are set free
So don't stay mad
Just let some time pass
And in the morning you'll wake feeling new
And if I don't come back
I mean, if I get sidetracked
It's only 'cause I wanted to
Keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
