A View From The Abridged

Looking down off the bridge, towards the city
The lights face the sky, illuminating everything
I can almost reach the clouds up above my head
As the wind catches me on the freeway
Floating home from this place sans direction
Wings on my back have made their final connection
As I float down the tide, heading up towards the sky
Well, I know, I have made the right selection
Still, I wish that I could fly home
I wish that I could swim
I wish that I could find home
If only one last time again
...to be continued...

Founded in Seventeen Seventy Six
Between the Seventh Inning Stretch and The Seven Year Itch
As the Seven Nation Army plays all of the hits
Seventy Six Trombones will blow the opening pitch
So little girl what brings you to this country of ours
Is your head in the clouds, is your eyes on the stars
As you go for a ride in a new foreign car
To tour through the streets 'til you find the next bar
And you just can’t stop once the taste hits your lips
All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips
Now your family back home tries to get you a grip
They all just wish that you’d snap out of it
Well, you don’t know what you’re doing
Can’t you see that you’re in way above your head
Despite what you might think
And you don’t know what you’re saying
You thought you’d found a friend to lend a hand
But, it's a long walk for a short drink
Yes, I'm a long walk for a short drink
Be careful, my dear, this town likes you best on your knees
But once you learn how to kneel it can be easy to please
In the home of the brave and the land of the free
Where the rich are entitled and the poor are appeased
So little girl what brings you to this city of mine
I hope you’re ready to hide all the riches you find
Cause everything around you turns on a dime
And you must pawn your watch just to be given the time
And you just can’t stop once the taste hits your lips
All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips
Now your family back home tries to get you a grip
They all just wish that you’d snap out of it
Well, you don’t know what you’re doing
Can’t you see that you’re in way above your head
Despite what you might think
And you don’t know what you’re saying
You thought you’d found a friend to lend a hand
But, it's a long walk for a short drink
Well, you just can’t stop once the taste hits your lips
All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips
Now your family back home tries to get you a grip
They all just wish that you’d snap out of it
Well, you don’t know what you’re doing
Can’t you see that you’re in way above your head
Despite what you might think
And you don’t know what you’re saying
You thought you’d found a friend to lend a hand
But, it's a long walk for a short drink
Yes, I'm a long walk for a short drink
Yes, you're a long walk from a short drink
