lyrics

Chapter 6: The Street

Freaks and dudes
Are finally intermingling!
Freaks and dudes
From agitating sea!
Shadows cast,
A flame in every window.
Pallid sheen
In the beacon of dreams.

Bloomed from the crags,
Terrific altarpiece of meticulous fiends.
Shade joining hands
With every gift of creation
From negotiable light.

How now,
A yet unrealized prerogative
Of nations
Professed to welcome the world!
How now,
A yet unrealized prerogative
Is here,
On the outpost of time.

Freaks and dudes
Together on the corner!
Freaks and dudes
Embracing one another!
From the rocks
A flower of gentility
Blooms beside
Every sibilant tide.

How now,
A yet unrealized prerogative
Of nations
Professed to welcome the world!
How now,
A yet unrealized prerogative
Is here,
On the outpost of time.
