Sterling Cade | "While the City Sleeps" [Hi-Tech AOR]

Описание: LYRICS:

[Verse]
Paper box blares the late edition
1987 stamped like premonition
Payphone rings, then cuts mid-call
Sodium lamps stain brick and wall
Taxi haze over rain-slick stone
Footsteps trace a route unknown
Windows closed with latches tight
Somewhere, someone counts the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Red circles drawn on a folded map
Headlines talk, but the clues don’t match

[Chorus]
While the city sleeps, a hunter moves
Under billboard glow and empty roofs
While the city sleeps, the streets go cold
A careful hand writes stories bold
While the city sleeps

[Verse]
Stairwell breath, an unlit hall
Keys in hand, then nothing at all
Night clerk stares at a static screen
Sees a dark outline he can’t unsee
Polaroids thumbed in a plastic sleeve
Blue ink notes no one believes
Rainline smears on the crime-scene tape
Patterns rise that the talk shows shape

[Pre-Chorus]
Red circles drawn on a folded map
Truth runs thin where the cameras clap

[Chorus]
While the city sleeps, a hunter moves
Under billboard glow and empty roofs
While the city sleeps, the streets go cold
A careful hand writes stories bold
While the city sleeps

[Bridge]
Newsvan parks by a chalked-out frame
Map pins stack with date and lane
Static rides a late-night plea
'87 keeps the lock and key

[Chorus]
While the city sleeps, a hunter moves
Under billboard glow and empty roofs
While the city sleeps, the streets go cold
A careful hand writes stories bold
While the city sleeps
