Every corner of the city

In every corner of the city
There's something going down
Round every bend
Somebody is painting the town
Someone's making a friend
What they have in common 
That's how the story ends

In another corner of the city
The mourners parade
Someone is fishing casting his line
Someone is cycling the tunes doing fine
In every corner another person
Is calling a friend
But nobody knows how the story
Will end

There's a corner of this city
Where the gargoyles glare
Down from their posts
At the hell down there
And on another roof top
An Angel's hand to a man extends
But nobody knows how the story
Ends 

Another side of the wall 
the graffiti artists call
Their tags spread over an older
Picture
They scrape it off into dust
Layers of paint like imaginations rust
And attempts to say what they need to express
Nobody shouting or trying to impress
Like giving a little as a branch that bends
This how the story ends
