Lyrics Kevin Devine

Kevin Devine

The Shift Change Splits the Streets

I'm pushing pins through the pavement

I'm adding days to the week

I feel the city sidewalk shake beneath me

While everyone sleeps.

I'm spiking punch and Judy send offs

The silver dollars I stole

From Michael's dresser somewhere

Back in Brooklyn

While he was out digging holes.

I wrote the horse you rode in on a letter

To keep the focus off me and make it stay there

To keep you guessing while the shift change

Splits the streets

But I still can't sleep oh wo oh
