Uncommon Nasa - Ornate

Let’s do some drinking and rhyming
Tests of love, thinking and timing
Street lights light up like necklaces in order
Hang in the air, each of them special, forced to
Pearls un-foil, part of a web
The world soiled, part of it’s dead
Still breathing you can see the chest move
So the lights flicker with every rise and swoon
Ebb and flow, the moon effects the tide
Section roll, doom reflects off a high rise
Cement keeps time, to the left of the light wise
The tradition of guys
See through the glass what the arms hold up
She knew what to ask, but your charm told us

Life is like a city
Life is like a city
Everyone is everyone
Every sun is another one
One more chance to live it
We Ornate, just to keep living
We Ornate, just to keep living

These streets breathe heavy
Put change in the air like a ’54 Chevy
The ride is part of the lifestyle
That plus the pearls and Rolex, life’s wild
Now we’re all growing together
Buildings get taller, withstanding the weather
Every unit is pricey
Two doors with a love seat, that’s enticing
Now I don’t know where I live
Where my cars, my clothes, my block and my home end
What’s the message that this sends?
Bought off with the riches, too corrupt to pretend
That my city didn’t change, that it is as it’s been
Hang it from your neck, call it decorative rent

Life is like a city
Life is like a city
Everyone is everyone
Every sun is another one
One more chance to live it
We Ornate, just to keep living
We Ornate, just to keep living
