Lyrics
just came thru the gateway to the heights man
passed by a kid with a sign and a soup can
skipped down the hospkotch lines on the sidewalk
blocked by a mailbox, someone pushed it over
early day sun burns my eyes, put my hand up
parallel lines are converging on the starbucks
eat across the street the sign says its chinese
but i never seen anyone go inside or leave there
welcome to the heights
its alright if you're a stranger
row your boat ashore
do yourself a favour
welcome to the heights
you're alright so howdy stranger
sail right out the door
it might get bryter layter
welcome to the heights
weird scenes in the heights around midnite
glowing screens thru the panes like xmas lights
none of the houses stand straight up and down
fat cap tags n broken bottles deck the playground
really sorry that i trashed the car
but the future's in the railway, anyway
sometimes i look down the tracks
from this corner you can almost see the border
passed by a kid with a sign and a soup can
skipped down the hospkotch lines on the sidewalk
blocked by a mailbox, someone pushed it over
early day sun burns my eyes, put my hand up
parallel lines are converging on the starbucks
eat across the street the sign says its chinese
but i never seen anyone go inside or leave there
welcome to the heights
its alright if you're a stranger
row your boat ashore
do yourself a favour
welcome to the heights
you're alright so howdy stranger
sail right out the door
it might get bryter layter
welcome to the heights
weird scenes in the heights around midnite
glowing screens thru the panes like xmas lights
none of the houses stand straight up and down
fat cap tags n broken bottles deck the playground
really sorry that i trashed the car
but the future's in the railway, anyway
sometimes i look down the tracks
from this corner you can almost see the border

Worth the wait! This is so funky-cool Alec...
Nice lyric writing. Effective and stirring vocal delivery. Judicious use of horns. Great guitar chops.
It's all here!
Be well friend!
