Harlem Nights

Traveling down the night streets
Just to see what I would see
Look down the left by the closed Barbershop
A group of friends chatting
Collapsing the night time by chopping their jaws

Going down by that train station
A couple dancing their night away
By the street light at the corner
A graze of wind takes the wet leaves with it
A beautiful sight

Until broken by the alley across the corner
Dimming the graze by a game of dice
A fight roaring down the entire alley
A body dragged helplessly off the banks

A night mixed and tangled by people
