[00:00.00]Ode to My Hometown - Vikesh Kapoor
[00:07.23]Yeah i saw them take up my town
[00:10.73]
[00:11.62]They tore up thompson row
[00:14.62]
[00:15.68]I watched the trucks of thieves go by
[00:19.31]I can feel them in my bones
[00:22.23]
[00:23.72]On main street people walk
[00:27.04]With their heads bowed down
[00:30.21]
[00:31.54]Listening to the triangle park preacher bode
[00:36.74]
[00:38.27]So i sing in my head
[00:41.76]
[00:42.41]Our hometown is dead
[00:44.98]
[00:48.76]Out of work and waiting in lines
[00:52.66]Looking for lend outs without company dime
[00:56.36]I'm losing step with tired rhymes
[00:59.27]And no way for me to go
[01:02.18]
[01:04.07]There are boys who follow the road
[01:07.00]
[01:07.69]Well worn it once guided me home
[01:11.63]Left with an empty room and false pride
[01:15.94]
[01:17.84]So we sing in our heads
[01:22.17]Our hometown is dead
[01:25.61]
[01:42.25]Watch you go let you go
[01:52.56]
[01:53.46]Watch you go let you go
[02:04.13]
[02:08.98]I find solace in the night
[02:12.51]When it's dark like the midnight fight
[02:16.45]Between the good and the bad
[02:19.07]
[02:20.07]Between the hollow and moonlight
[02:23.66]
[02:24.59]I am good as gone
[02:26.63]
[02:28.37]A ghost in song
[02:31.06]
[02:32.09]I've climbed the rungs and seen the light
[02:36.33]
[02:38.42]So i sing in my head
[02:42.01]
[02:42.56]Our hometown is dead
