Birds of Prey - The Bridge
lyrics
THE BRIDGE

There's a new moon risin' on the city tonight
Lookin' like a brand new day
Rooftops swimmin' in a river of light
Over a perfect getaway

A phantom rider on a silver streak engine
Ridin' shotgun in the shade
Hidin' in the dark shafts after sundown
Deep inside the cloak of a saint

Time enough comin' on
For chasin' shadows till half past dawn

So raise a glass for the ones still alive
And turn the music up loud
Never mind about the phantom tonight
There's a bridge above the thunderclouds

Cold shadows crawlin' 'cross the depot
Final bus been and gone
Stuck out on the wrong side of the river
Watch the water moving on

Hear the howling of a downtown train
Hear the blue dogs moan
The low whistlin' of a late night wind
Wanderin' the train yards alone

Time enough for comin' round
For sailing out and spinning sounds

So raise a glass for the ones still around
And take it to the street
Raise the glasses as we dance through the town
And to the other side of The Bridge

Ther's a new moon risin' on the city tonight
Flowin like waterfalls
Naked idols on the edge of a knife
Sit in stone in concrete halls

And watch the shadows crawlin' over the streets
(Somewhere for the dogs to hide)
The phantom rider ride and knows how to speak
Adress the visage of the idol

Time, enough time run out
Time to stand and to break out

So raise your glasses for the big blue sky
And pay heed to that restless itch
Sun's risin' and we're ready to ride
The road across The Bridge
