It’s the banging all the time that keeps me from sleeping in, and if it weren’t raining outside I might go for a walk. There’s always something going up a block or two over, and this is where things used to go down. When they fill up the new houses, where will all the old folks go? Down there is the block where they smashed out the windows on my ‘93 Plymouth and took all my things. A couple of cars on a deserted street, 4:30 am, it’s the perfect time. The empty warehouses, they won’t say anything.
The neighborhood’s growing, they’re building all the time. The faces change color, it gets so complicated. The city changes shape under amber lights. The streets might stay the same, but everything is different. Some people they move out, but it’s never been that easy. This city changes shape under new street lights. This city changes shape.
There’s a girl down the street, works in a coffee shop, and her eyes always look so dark and bitter. She moved here from Missouri three years ago, she says things are getting better. Well, I wonder. Last week my buddy got dragged down into an alley, had his eyes all blacked up and blued, for a wallet filled with nothing. Maybe a sense of redemption, I don’t know. Can you blame them?
