Weekend in the City
by Merisan

She’s not awake
Every day’s the same
little silver cross
with heavy chain

spent her whole life
dying in a cage
till she met a man
destined for fame

He said “Catch the next train
don’t make me wait
I wanna see the night
wanna see your face.

I’ll show you all the lights
Show you with a kiss
I’ll offer you a ride
that you can’t resist.

She say’s “take me out into the city streets city streets
I don’t want to miss anything anything”

Take me higher than the endless night
Let me dive in the river by the red lights
Count a million stars, fighting to shine
You’ll get yours and I’ll get mine

And the subway sings like a choir
and the bricks just keep getting higher

Hot like gossip
on a telephone wire
She’s got a habit
gonna set her on fire

now she’s crawling on the floor
tearing at her skin
said he had some more
but she don’t know when

Take me higher than the endless night
Let me dive in the river by the red lights
Count a million stars, fighting to shine
You’ll get yours and I’ll get mine

I really love the rock edge of Merisan. Drums sound fantastic! I asked Ken if he contributed they sound so good. (Ken did not contribute). I wish the guitars were louder in the chorus. Erin’s vocals are superb. I don’t know why this is any more epic than most of your songs. Maybe all of your songs are epic. The melody is like a tidal wave spinning over my head. Drowning me in your promises left unsaid. This is just a great song. Excellent singing, great production. I like the keys solo, but I wish there was a blistering howling Lunkhead guitar solo! Awesome!
