Radio in the City

Driving rain in the city
clouds are set on heavy
and the only station
I can hear is a
eazy listening
full of broken vowels
and heartache

Your sleeeping with
your eyes open
swallowing words
I cannot hear
just the hum
of engines
when lights
turn red.

Sleazy bars where
lights shine
on puddles and
hearts are put on line
but I don't stop
I'm purring
'cross the cross section
erasing every trail

Its raining in the city
and I'm burning
up inside
the radio is locked
on a station
where heartache
is cheap
and you sleep
with your eyes
wide open.

oh this had a very nice effect on me, "sleeping with your eyes wide open" such a contrast behind these words, i sleep with my eyes close but they are open cause my mind is thinking about things. I love this one so much, last verse especially.
