mc 900 foot jesus "the city sleeps" transcribed by phluid - patrickp@netcom.comstealin` down an alley on a cold dark nighti see a halo in the rain `round a street lighti stop and look and listen to the sound as the raindrops penetrate the silence all aroundalone, i gaze into the glistening streetthe distant thunder echoing my hearbeaturging me on to a secret goalaway from the light from this lamp on a poleso i turn slip away into the raindrifting like a spirit through the shadows in the laneclutching the tools of my trade in my hand an old box of matches and a gasoline candarkness envelops the scene like a shrouda veil of emptiness hangs from the cloudsfilling up the cracks in this desolate placecradled by the night in an icy embracei move through the town like a ghost in the raina dim reflection in a dark windowpaneblackness beckons from every sidecreeping all around like an incoming tidea broken window in an empty housei slip inside and begin to dousethe whole place with the fuel that will feed the fireand push back the night, taking me higheron out of the darkness in a deafening roarthe match in my hand is the key to the doora simple turn of the wrist will sufficeto open a passage to paradisei pause think about the past in the gloomthe smell of gasoline permeates the roomeveryone has a little secret he keepsi light the fires while the city sleepsthe match makes a graceful arch to the floortime stands still as I turn for the doorwhich explodes in a fireball and throws me to the streeti hit the ground running with the flames at my feetreaching for the night which recoils from the firethe raindrops hiss like a devilish choirdying in the flames with a terrible soundcalling all the names of sleepers all aroundbut then in the arms of the night they laytheir dreams sprout wings and fly awayout of their houses in a gathering flockswarming overhead as I hurry down the blocki make my escape with the greatest of easeand safe in the darkness, i drop to my kneesa light in this window, my hand on the latchi reach in my pocket and pull out a match
