Bradbury (304 Broadway) Lyrics - The Ambassador - Gabriel Kahane

Tribal neon 

On the rooftop 

Through the fog 

Search lights, white dove 

Am I dying 

Am I done? 

Have you known 

Anyone designed to break down? 

I was shown 

Pictures that I thought 

Were family. 

Hong Kong slaveship 

All the symbols 

On the mast 

Gleaming squalor, decay grown taller 

Through the ceiling 

Through the glass 

Have you known 

Anyone designed to break down? 

Oh, oh have you really known 

Anyone at all? 

Like me, the dark city 

Thinks its recall 

Is its own 

But have not its thoughts 

Been suggested 

in the bone? 

I've seen things 

You people would not believe, like 

Great glittering c-beams 

Fires feeding on an airplane - 

All these thoughts 

Moments I've collected 

All, all will be lost 

Lost like tears in rain.
