The Overpass Lyrics - Gang Of Youths

We're stranded at the lights 

With extraordinary distance 

Covered in a blanket 

Of northern snow 

I am your protection 

The last line of defence 

I'll try to keep my promises 

To all of our friends 

I don't have a coat 

And we don't have a car 

But honey if you're patient 

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines like 

Neon violence in my blood 

So red and white, and out of our control

You swore it on your life 

You wouldn't get so tired 

But I can hear you lying 

Over the phone 

This is such a failure 

Wholly on my part 

To rectify our balance with 

The credit on the cards 

I don't have the nerve 

But if you have the heart 

Honey if you're patient 

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines like 

Neon violence in my blood 

So red and white, and out of our control 

Do they drown their young in Hudson waters? 

Bring their children with disorders 

Into the night and the dark northern cold 

Photos 

You see it in their faces 

Strong against the white 

Fighting with the angels 

For glory and pride 

And we are not peculiar 

But am I not at fault? 

This is the arrangement 

And what I've been sold 

I don't have a coat 

And we don't have a car 

But honey if you're patient 

The city isn't far 

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines 

Like neon violence in my blood 

So red and white, and out of our control 

Do they drown their young in Hudson waters? 

Bring their children with disorders 

Into the night and the dark northern cold 

And it shakes and rattles through the ward 

A lightning bolt across the door 

Flourescent like the visions in my sleep 

So much braver than our present life 

A golden factory of light 

And you'll live long enough to catch its beams
