letra de the fabled city - the nightwatchman
[verse 1]
me and javi
shouted slogans in spanish
like it was our world to win
then they moved the plant
down to ojeda
time to bite your tongue again
[chorus]
i’ve seen the fabled city
and its streets are paved with gold
but an iron fence runs ’round it
and its iron gate is closed
[verse 2]
what ain’t right ain’t right
he told me
but something else p-ssed behind his eyes
now he’s downtown on his knees
washing floors for somebody
and quietly biding his time
[chorus]
i’ve seen the fabled city
and its streets are paved with gold
but an iron fence runs round it
and its iron gate is closed
[bridge]
at the gas station
on sunset and crescent
i met an angel sad and old
she lived in the alley
behind the market
in the shadows maybe hidden from the lord
and for a dollar
she sang a song
that sounded more like a prayer
a wish that her dead mother and father
couldn’t look down and see her there
[chorus]
i’ve seen the fabled city
and its streets are paved with gold
but an iron fence runs round it
and its iron gate is closed
[outro]
on the wire outside my window
there sit 100 swallows
and i suspect that if one flew
then 99 would follow
