The Meteor Shower - Edge of the City

Edge of the city - off the highway
Where concrete meets cornflowers and clay
Slick city-slicker's city patter
While slow courting lovers make hay

Old skits and urban myths
Don"t fade away
We're in the in-between
Half night and day

Penthouse and pavement - once the whizz-kids
The Dunroamin' boys now at play
Golf courses criss-cross the horizon
Bunkers and bankers in spades

Out here, the life has changed
So they say
Here in the in-between
More shades of grey

Edge of the city
A nation divides
Edge of the city
Two worlds collide

Brash, sassy houses on the hilltop
Where brown fields sweep green fields aside
Tough kid on scooter prowls the woodland
Clutching a stash load to hide

Trailers and Tudor gates
Country estates
Tractors and criminals
Come face to face

Sprawling estate out in the nowhere
Surrounded by valleys and fields
Shysters that set the wheels in motion
In land grabs and backhander deals

Not much to do there then
Except survive
Faint dreams and reckless schemes
Kept hope alive
