I remember working at Tims when this album dropped, and I would sneak outside with my cd player and listen to Sam and his band while taking out the trash and having a drag. Love.
Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand And for sixty days I knew no other road And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on the coast And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye Yeah I remember feeling alright And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire It's all concrete and steel We're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city Listen to the sound, there's a time bomb ticking in the city I've heard the song the morning sings Outside the gate is everything Let in the light, let in the light A streetwalker said to me, she has no need for history She has the key, she has the key Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye Let in the light, let in the light Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream And Chemical City isn't all that you need But it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city Listen to the sound, there's a time bomb ticking in the city Let in the light, let in the light I said this place is an unnatural disaster And I'm a visitor here so I asked her Where are the trees, where are the trees? And she said free yourself from history That is the key, that is the key Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye I see the light, I see the light The gate is gone now, you better run The gate is gone now, you better run The gate is gone now, you better run The gate is gone now, you better run Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city Yeah there's a heartbeat missing in the city Where all the fat-cats are hissing at your pity There's a heartbeat missing The gate is gone so you better run You better run, run, run, run You better run, run, run, run You gotta run.
"Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye..."

Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
And for sixty days I knew no other road
And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on the coast
And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city
And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
Yeah I remember feeling alright
And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire
It's all concrete and steel
We're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire
Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
Listen to the sound, there's a time bomb ticking in the city
I've heard the song the morning sings
Outside the gate is everything
Let in the light, let in the light
A streetwalker said to me, she has no need for history
She has the key, she has the key
Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
Let in the light, let in the light
Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream
And Chemical City isn't all that you need
But it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
Listen to the sound, there's a time bomb ticking in the city
Let in the light, let in the light
I said this place is an unnatural disaster
And I'm a visitor here so I asked her
Where are the trees, where are the trees?
And she said free yourself from history
That is the key, that is the key
Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
I see the light, I see the light
The gate is gone now, you better run
The gate is gone now, you better run
The gate is gone now, you better run
The gate is gone now, you better run
Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city
Yeah there's a heartbeat missing in the city
Where all the fat-cats are hissing at your pity
There's a heartbeat missing
The gate is gone so you better run
You better run, run, run, run
You better run, run, run, run
You gotta run.
Awesome my dude, thank you!
this song, and the pilgrim - transcendental!
One of the great song endings imo with that drummer totally murdering it. You better run!
