Emerald Street
Lyricist:Dallas John Green, Jesse Ingelevics, Wade Macneil, George Pettit, Chris Steele
Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus Hard-up people living off crust And there's a beat-up town car it's starting to ruse Hard soles are kicking up dust
Half a million people living in the corpse Of the brown brick 50's To the north, all the small town outcasts Are now big city bourgeoisie
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick But we hold on We'll never falter, though they want us to slip We hold on
Desperate downtown stealing bikes Drunks in the village are picking fights So police like the streets, read them their rights No controlling hot summer nights
The sun goes down on the edge of town Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com At the end of everyday We sit and watch the stacks on fire To the east across the bay
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick But we hold on We'll never falter, though they want us to slip We hold on
There's something in the church belfry On the corner of Victoria and King And it screams out into the night It sings this city's plight
All the boys in the halfway houses Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick But we hold on We'll never falter, though they want us to slip We hold on
