Crescendo

They built this city outside the walls
You and I, we stood and watched it grow
They left black ink on it all
So why don't we just clean it up and go

And if you lay these bricks on tower tall
Then why do not think you can turn it into gold
So till the ceilings on the floor
We don't build the whole thing just to watch it fall

It happens, I feel it, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, beating against my window
Yeah, and it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow

Just take these tickets and pay the toll
We don't really need a car to tow home
We might not know which way to walk
But to stay here for an eternity, then no

When you're filling up the tank, let it overflow
And listen to the static on the telephone
There's no need to understand
Just get your things, you step outside the door

It happens, I feel it, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, beating against my window
Yeah, and it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow

I hear it grow, a crescendo [x4]

It happens, I feel it, come on like a crescendo
The moment, withstand it, beating against my window
Yeah, and it's all mine
So baby, the street sounds, that's when I feel the wind blow
