Lyrics Driving Alone in the City at Night - Demo - Joshua Burnside
Driving
alone
in
the
city
at
night
I
thought
I
saw
you
Caught
in
the
high
branches
Of
a
beech
tree
bowling
in
the
bluster
Above
the
big
houses
of
Solicitors
Built
at
the
end
of
the
twentieth
century
Computers
were
big,
everybody
was
wealthy
Then
the
horror
of
it
all
flew
into
my
vision
Like
an
owl
for
it's
dinner
with
lethal
precision
And
into
the
dark,
you
rode
on
the
wind
Shaking
your
head,
as
if
to
rescind
Some
crucial
law
of
quantum
mechanics
One
cannot
be
here,
whilst
over
there
So
you
must
remain,
my
kind
brother
Yes
you
must
remain,
my
sweet
brother
Until
eventually
all
of
our
buried
skeletons
Are
gently
uncovered
by
smiling
Americans
And
all
is
explained,
How
we
came
to
such
unfortunate
endings
By
the
cracks
on
our
skulls
And
the
dull
arrows
in
our
graves
A
hedge
around
us
Smoke
rising
from
the
edge
of
the
pitch
flood
I'm
not
upright
in
light
of
it
all
And
flashing
blue,
the
ambulance
grew
For
an
old
local
man,
my
old
man
knew
He
was
found
in
the
morning,
under
the
white
land
A
half-pint
of
Guinness
frozen
to
his
hand
Naked
and
soulless
Half-naked
and
soulless
Oh
Dear
But
you
must
remain,
You
must
remain
You
must
remain
You
must
remain
You
must
remain
Yes
you
must
remain
My
kind
brother
My
sweet
brother
A
little
while
longer
than
I
My
kind
brother
