Suit Of Lights – Letras de Goodbye Silk City

once majestic, now in shambles
no more theatres standing downtown
gone are the mills, what a pity
the first planned industrial city
was there pride in labor
was there flood and fire
dreams we weave don't last forever

do you recall
a time before the malls went up
down by the falls
it's like it wasn't ever here at all

do you recall
a time before the malls went up
down by the falls
it's like it wasn't ever here at all

'the morning call' won't show up
on newsstands
alexander hamilton's hotel is
housing for homeless
the ghosts in trolleys off to neverland
call for william

if you did not see the damage done
well you're just too young
and gone is poor old silk city

calling william paterson
paterson
gone the land of lenape

if you did not see the damage done
well you're just too young
and gone is poor old silk city

calling william paterson
paterson
gone the land of lenape
