Take A Look Around You (Down By The Tracks)

from History From Below [EP 2022] by Paul Cargnello

/

lyrics

Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
trading in tragedy

Down by the tracks we don't say things twice
we share our space with the sewer rats and field mice
down by the tracks every penny is flat
take some time to process that
Down by the tracks we live in and out
we live over the whispers and under the shout
Down by the tracks while the universe expands
people will criticize but we do the best we can

Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
trading in tragedy

Down by the tracks by the railway fence
They roll by slow in the blue suspense
Down by the tracks somebody killed a guy
sixteen years old and his mother cried
Down by the tracks we tip the scales
no one commits but no one ever bails
Down by the tracks it's all slight of hand
it only takes one glance to say that 'I'm your man'

Take a look around you
tell me what do you see
people trading in tragedy
