lyrics

I woke from a dream at 4 AM

The sharks were a-circlin’ around me.
The minute I woke up I thought of your face,
And all of the sorrow that's found me.
See, yours was the sweetest love I've ever known;

I mourn for the death of our battle.

You took me from the cell of my solitude.

And brought me to the next Seattle.
For there was a city,
 I read in the news,

Where the next one to win
 is the next one to lose,

And a window wide open
 for whoever will choose
And I, they're reeling 'em in just like cattle
.
If you ever get the courage to leave New York

Then I'll be your next Seattle.

She came to the city to find a home

And do what it was she was here for.

With each day that passing they planned their escape

To all of the things they were dear for.
For like a old secret
, the road it will call

And his eyes they will sparkle
 like the mountains so tall.

And the first twenty minutes
 were gone by the fall.

And I
, hearing the same distant rattle.

Meet me in Burlington 9 AM

And we'll be headed for the next Seattle.
It's a different world at 5 AM
My friends and I are poised for battle

Yet the same old world won't let us in.
We're looking for the next Seattle.
