The sounds of the city

You'll see this is your chance.
People come here and everything changes.
Amongst the sounds of the city.
You arrived all shy.
Lost in the background.
You were shaken up, your eyes hungry
for all the flavours of the city
which called you into them.
 
Solid and without pity,
pedestrians flooded the alleys
flowing like a river
hurrying to find its centre.
 
You take a chance and with one leap.
You blend into the crowd
which carries you on its way
like a feather in a blizzard.
So far away that all of a sudden you panic.
You feel your feet leave the ground
and your heart takes flight.
 
Alone.
In the early morning.
Like a sailor on a beach
washed ashore by a wave.
You hear the avalanche
of an army of busy souls who hurl themselves forward
shaking your whole body.
Of course you'll make it this time.

You feel your feet leave the ground
and your heart takes flight.
 
Everything spins around you so quickly.
The sound and the colours
all mix together and your heart jumps again.
When you close your eyes
lost without anything to hold on to.
You're like a tadpole
lost in the middle of a coral reef
and the city draws us into its depths
and you go off the rails.
Locked in a spiral.
You unfurl the sails.
Ready for battle.

The three hoodlums

I'd never seen so much rain fall in all my life
All of a sudden the streets were empty and life halted
There I was alone in an alley and the darkness
Hid three strange lads
 
The first came over and talked to me about the falling rain
The second in his turn arrived and asked me for a cigarette
But the third had more of a hassle in mind
Than my pockets could settle
And his left shot up
 
And smack on the boulevard
Head in the fog
Why am I talking to hoodlums I have no idea
That's the game, I'm not hugging the wall
 
They took my sneaks
My jacket and my cigarettes
While I just stood in place speechless not making move and looking disappointed
 
I'd never have thought such a scene would play out
Coming to a few responses came to mind
That I could have lunged fearlessly on the three thieves
Even if I get beat up
Might as well say how it feels
 
You have nothing better to do
Than to steal my things
You could mug a dude who has the means to replace everything tomorrow
If I take out the violins
They're gonna give back my jacket
Maybe even my phone, I'll get back my things and give them some change
 
I'd never seen so much rain fall in all my life
All of a sudden the streets were empty and life halted
There I was alone in an alley and the darkness
Hid three strange lads
That really want my jacket
 
And smack on the boulevard
Head in the fog
Why am I talking to hoodlums I have no idea
That's the game, I'm not hugging the wall
 
They really want my sneaks
My jacket and my cigarettes
I'm not gonna stand here speechless not making move and looking disappointed
 
You don't have anything better to do
Than to steal my things
You could mug a dude who has the means to replace everything tomorrow
I took out the violins
They gave me back my jacket
And even my phone, I had all my things and I gave them my change
