The slow progression Ghosts, headlights past my window The million footed lives And the slow drum beat of the city The clip-clip of horse's hooves, the squeal Of babies, tires, old gods dying in the gutters The honking of street cars And the ghosts All million footed Wandering, rootless On the corner, thick shades hide ****** eyes Laughter Drowned in the sirens and the street cars And ghosts Million footed, Passing Ethereal and true

Time and the City
The slow progression Ghosts, headlights past my window The million footed lives And the slow drum beat of the city The clip-clip of horse's hooves, the squeal Of babies, tires, old gods dying in the gutters The honking of street cars And the ghosts All million footed Wandering, rootless On the corner, thick shades hide ****** eyes Laughter Drowned in the sirens and the street cars And ghosts Million footed, Passing Ethereal and true
