The Meteor Shower - Virus and a Nation

A late train skimming fast through the night
Below a restless nation
Through the tunnels heading south towards Brixton
Zeros in on its destination

Up above in the streets
This city's got insomnia, it never sleeps

Homeless souls with a hat of change
And a dog on a string
Wind and rain lash the pavements all evening
While the seasons wash down the drain

There's got to be better days than 2020 when
All the world sat still
While we stayed indoors and feel the phobia
The devil had his fill

Bright lights from the station below
Reflected glass and steel
Masked statues, gliding up the escalator
Lately feels so unreal

The city's wide awake with insomnia
It seems it never sleeps
Late news fuels fear and paranoia
While all is quiet in the streets

The tick-rock of the clock in the concourse
While it counts the small early hours
An announcement to no-one in particular
Another world it's not ours

Strange times like a film
In petrified isolation
Life behind a closed door
A virus and a nation
