Jon Brooks & The Outskirts of Approval - Safer Days

I was last seen at The Cecil dancing with an Indian girl
Down at the corner of 4th Avenue and the end of the earth
It was built in 1911 for transients and working men
Who rode the Western rails to the East Village Station
And may we always hope for better
May we always work and play
And may we meet again in safer days
And may we meet again in safer days

These brick and sandstone drought rooms scar all south parts of every town
Where Italian shoes and the Kodiak boots trip over the same ground
And as inside all churches a moral code will rule
He said, "I'm good with faces, kid," and followed me into the men's room
And may we always hope for better
May we always work and play
And may we meet again in safer days
And may we meet again in safer days

And if we're young in this life may we never fear a chance
And should we learn a better age may we learn vigilance
And may we always hope for better
May we always work and play
And may we meet again in safer days
And may we meet again in safer days

I was last seen at The Cecil dancing with an Indian girl
