The Cotton Club - Christopher Norton

I woke up to a dream Hung my feet in the flames I saw things no man should ever see I was fallin' in love Or at least thought I was All along, I've been lost in some velvet dream I put all things where they belong Indeed, I was right, indeed, I was wrong I heard some silver song Dripping down from the sun For the first time in my mind It all was real I saw sunbeams bend In the mouth of some friends All along, he's been asleep on Spinning wheel I put all things where they belong Indeed, I was right, indeed, I was wrong Oh, hands of the sun Some ten thousand strong You keep turnin' me off And turnin' me on You keep turnin' me off And turnin' me on Always turnin' me off And turnin' me on

This song is for the rats Who hurled themselves into the ocean When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold Were just about to blow This song is for the soil That's toxic clear down to the bedrock Where no thing of consequence can grow Drop your seeds there, let them go Let them all go Let 'em all go This song is for the people Who tell their families that they're sorry For things they can't And won't feel sorry for And once there was a desk And now it's in a storage locker somewhere And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons I left in the top drawer Let 'em all go Let 'em all go I wanna sing one for the cars That are right now headed silent down the highway And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give I saw you waiting by the roadside You didn't know that I was watching Now you know Let it all go Let 'em all go Let it all go
