Uptown Odyssey

Open minds And open skies All dolled up And can't place why They were burning through the heat And the heat burned through the sky Ever since they were young Two things were never spared Summer time was theirs And there was no time left to care Let it breath Take your shoes off Live and dangerous Something splendorous A reckless summer Is a glorious mess Whole journey got to be an uptown odyssey Now they thought The right price Would buy them anything But seasons change And oceans rage And life ain't as cheap as it seems In the months Their innocence began to fade They were 17 years old Felt like bird let out of a cage Live and dangerous Something splendorous A reckless summer Is a glorious mess Whole journey got to be an uptown odyssey When they hit the city Thought like they had seen it all There were people moving everywhere And the buildings standing tall Black and white Frames so bright Now in color dark as night Like dreaming through your sleep Or waking and your flying Live and dangerous Something splendorous A reckless summer Is a glorious mess Whole journey got to be an uptown odyssey
