lyrics

Opa!

The type I am, what I’ve become
And what do you know? In this hole I call home
Is a place of wonder and sorrow!
The light, I am, what I’ve become
Put on some show that no one saw
In your trash I found my rose!

All out of time, down the mine
Running out of air, huddled workers await
A disaster to be averted!
Cutting corners, safety measures,
Boss said: “Fine, I’ll pay the fine, and don’t you
Give me your tired, your poor….!”

Some love New York, hate New York,
The one n only, check it out buddy,
The beast and the beauty!
Such ups n downs all over town
From hero to zero, and why settle
For less than the kingdom of heaven!?

On her last day, sweetheart Jane
Was running late on a date with fate
When struck by a subway train!
The life, I am, what I’ve become
To serve you a cautionary tale
Of memories installed or erased!
