There's a woman singing, a melody like opera
And it's so loud, they won't turn it down
There's no sleep in this parking lot
There's a garden growing, through cracks in the pavement
With flower buds and bullet slugs
Life and death in this parking lot
When the day fades to the darkness of the night
It gets so violent, you better run for your life
Before the day breaks at dawn's early light
It gets so silent but you can never sleep too tight
There's a city bird singing, a melody just like a shriek
It's so loud, a high pitched sound
She's the rooster in this parking lot
Before the asphalt's burning, and it's too hot on your feet
There's no shade, you steal lemonade
Can't die of thirst in this parking lot
When the day fades to the darkness of the night
It gets so violent, your better run for your life
Before the day breaks at dawn's early light
It gets so silent but you can never sleep too tight
There's a car alarm beeping from a motor bike revving by
It's so loud, can't turn it down
Still no sleep in this parking lot
When the day fades to the darkness of the night
It gets so violent, your better run for your life
Before the day breaks at dawn's early light
It gets so silent but you can never sleep too tight
