Lyrics

[short 10s instrumental intro] [verse] Oh yeah yeah Woah woahh Here's a little something A little something from my youth A feeling I can't capture But I promise it's the truth [verse] The boy I once was A deviation from the group Growing up with the skeezers A child out of the loop [chorus] But I'll sing this song In the midst of the night The view over the houses Those lights shine so bright [verse] And I still remember my brother Cornered by the pack A good friend of mine Plunged a rusty knife in their back [chorus] And I'll sing this song A callout in the night The view over the houses Those factory lights shine so bright [verse] It was no fancy schooling There was no makeup on this swine The facilities may be new But the cancer's not benign [chorus] Though I'll sing this song A boy waiting for the night The view over the houses Those city lights shine so bright [verse] An escape from the turmoil I'd climb that tall tree Through the wind and the rain That view I'd longed to see [verse] Though the climb may be risky For this feeling there is no equivalent My heart racing as I ascend Beyond the rooftops, a view magnificent [chorus] I still sing this song The breeze from that tree The view over the houses I remember how it feels, to be free [outro]
