Homicide, on the front page of the daily rag
Subway man fires into crowded screams
Boldfaced obscenity, a beauty queen
Scatters of poetry in her bag
5AM, drowned in the undecided dusk of day
Papers blown along the city streets
Everywhere I'm reminded of you
No, it's never the same
After all everything's changed
And I'm counting on you
To keep up with it
Scarlet nights
Stars in the stratosphere
Speeding light
Down from the heavens
You're counting your constellations
No, it's never the same
After all everything's changed
I'm counting on you
No, it's never the same
After all everything's changed
And I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
