Circling the old neighborhood
As the winter days are growing shorter
Just like my mind, they couldn't decide
Whether to stay, to rain, to sleep, or to defy
Hammer in hand, prying open the paint cans
Reluctantly breaking up a house of glass
A dark place on the map
A dark place on the map
Visions of how it used to be
Capone's poets up there on the balcony
Wandering and waiting patiently
Through fireworks, cursive words and smoke rings
Standing there in my old place under the overpass
Hung some Christmas lights, a horseshoe and an American flag
A dark place on the map
A dark place on the map
Hanging down at the Lady of Snows
With the beggars, the borrowers in yesterday's clothes
Taking tickets from the windshields as we walked
And staying up all around the clock
The waitress handed us a tarot deck
Oh, how the years have gone
And how quick they went
A dark place on the map
A dark place on the map
