from A Tale of Two Cities by Daniel J Townsend

about

The feature song from episode 6 of Daniel's album-podcast, A Tale of Two Cities. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

lyrics

She wears a dress of scarlet,
She keeps a nest of hornets in her hair
She stomps and screams down alleyways,
But she can’t find her echo anywhere

He jangles like a jailer with his pockets full,
But he speaks just like a saint
And all the sinful saviours say their evening prayers
Without complaint

He’ll wake to find he’s flying
Naked as a bird above the crowd
And all the keys he used to need
Will seem as simple superstition now

She’ll shed her dress of scarlet,
Shave her head and climb into the air
She’ll become one with everyone and everything everywhere
