City Walls

Music by Phil Carmen, Lyrics by Simon D. Sanders

No place to go, you know it’s dog eat dog
And hustle to survive
Back alley denizens, no fixed abode
For transients in time

Sleepin’ on Steam Gates
Taking all the heat
Sheer animosity on naked faces

In some McDonalds makin’ coffee
Last an hour or two, or more
Or in a library, they’re hidin’, warmin’ or
Readin’ up the latest news

Sleepin’ on Steam Gates
Taking all the heat
Sheer animosity on naked faces
Movin’ on, movin’ on up
All along the City Walls
Movin’ on, movin’ on up
City Walls

Invisibility’s a part of the art
Of survival too
No place to go, you know it’s dog eat dog
All along the City Walls

Movin’ on, movin’ on up
All along the City Walls
Movin’ on, movin’ on up
City Walls

Movin’ on......
Summer 1986
