about

The city in question that was my inspiration is Detroit. I find myself downtown less often but when I do, what I notice is all the scaffolding for the building repairs. Sure that’s a good thing but with all the money being poured into the facelifts and new fancy restaurants that cater to the suburban day visitors, there’s a whole city of forgotten residents who don’t reap any of the benefits of this booming new ‘scene’ being created. The locals and poorer folks get poorer and lost in the shadows. So this became a social statement about the fallout from all this growth.

lyrics

2. When They Fall
Climbing up on the scaffolding
Two hundred feet off the ground
Painting dreams on the side of the building
But don’t ever look down
Sparrows deserted playground
Stories burst at the seams
Wide open, closed to the public
On display for no one to see

[chorus] The city is sleep walking
Having a ball
Denizens hide in the shadows
While the kids from the burbs do the pub crawl
And there’s nobody looking when they fall

Mattress rescued from curbside
Mangled malt liquor cans
Needles and remnants of chalk lines
No looking for next of kin

[chorus]- and Repeat first part of the first verse
