the awful truth
I
been
sleeping
all
right
for
the
shape
I'm
in
But
these
D

nights
are
wearing
thin
and
I'm
aching
for
them
skyscraper
skies
and
that
sunrise
Sunrise
in
the
city
I'm
thinking
about
that
night
when
I'm
out
until
the
stars
are
dimly
seen
among
the
neon
lights
I
’m
riding
down
7th
crossing
34th
I
’ve
never
seen
this
many
people
out
at
night
I'm
waiting
for
those
orange
skies
To
come
seeping
in
through
my
window
blinds
that
sun
to
come
creeping
over
that
high
rise
And
I
got
this
lady
next
to
me
sleeping
in
so
peacefully
and
I'm
awake
watching
this
sunrise
sunrise
in
the
city
Some
of
these
nights
I
can
feel
the
cold
creeping
in
from
my
open
windows
I
pull
at
the
sheets
but
they're
on
the
floor
And
some
of
these
nights
I
pull
at
the
sheets
and
I
can't
take
no
more
of
this
same
D
.C.
streets
but
I
walk
,
I
walk
out
the
door
And
some
of
these
nights
I
drive
down
the
highway
looking
for
something
pretty
And
what
makes
my
heart
ache
is
the
signs
