Unlawful Melodies

Listen as they come by, Footsteps light as snow Foreign as spring In this strange country Raise our heads in sync To the Beats of this terrible melody Beautiful as it is Seductive as it came to be Let shadows brush through eyelids Peer through the darkness Take a peek as they come by As they come by With their dark and terrible melody I hear the music as my knees chafe against the tarmac Dragged behind the wagon by this dark and terrible melody Forever tied to these Beats Forever reaching for these elusive Beats Who never waited for me These unlawful melodies
