Boy & The Street Choir

Boy & the street choir make a lot of noise

The interstate it runs away

A blur of head and tail lights splay

In all directions from the place you stand and wait

And now, you can laugh about it now

Cause you can live without it now—

The ghetto low sounds…

This river bends until it breaks

This heart of darkness just one spark is all it takes

Morning's a leper's skin that mends

The pieces fall back into place

This river bends until it breaks

And now, you can laugh about it now

Cause you can live without it now—

The ghetto low sounds…

Boy & the street choir make a sound so sweet

It twists and lifts, suspends belief

About Mobile her water breaks

The Virgin's due, whatever it takes

To make it bleed

And now, you can laugh about it

Now, cause you can live without it

Now— the ghetto low sounds
