Parking Lot

by No Need For A Name   Nov 22, 2009


Are we getting lost in the dark city
Where the girls are fake but all pretty
As we drive along the boulevard
Of broken dreams and vagabonds
We needed to know, which way to go
We need not fear, we need not go

You said I won't be long
Just go wait in the car
You said just wait here
I've been waiting for a hundred years

Sweet lady liberty
Could you liberate me
From this car inside the parking lot
Where we lost all our Irish luck
Darling keep breathing
Darling don't leave me
Outside in this parking lot
Where we lost all of our good luck

Are we getting lost under street lamps
Where bugs crawl and shadows dance
As we drive on down this unknown road
Where pavement sags and lives erode
Do we need to get directions
Yes you needed to get afflictions

Are we getting lost in our own minds
Has fear and strange made us blind
As we drive up to this blockade
Are we drawing our own chalk lines
Do you want something to drink
You God did you not think?

You said I won't be long
Just go wait in the car
You said just wait here
I've been waiting through a hundred tears

Sweet lady liberty
Could you liberate me
From this car inside the parking lot
Where we lost all our Irish luck
Darling keep breathing
Darling don't leave me
Outside in this parking lot
Where we lost all of our good luck

I saw it through the window
Gun pressed against your chest
I saw it kill you so slow
Like a noose around your neck
Lying on the pavement
Under flickering light
A dawn of realization
That you're not coming home tonight

Sweet lady liberty
Could you liberate me
From this car inside the parking lot
Where we lost all our Irish luck
Darling keep breathing
Darling don't leave me
Outside in this parking lot
Where we lost all of our good luck

    The flow was definately back and forth in this piece and it dragged on a lot actually. I have no idea what you were trying to do with your rhyme scheme as it was all over the place. First stanza you had 2 lines rhyme back to back then at the end you rhymed go with go. Further down you rhymed a couple plural words with words that weren't plural which makes them not rhyme. I understand its a song but you need strong verses and you just didn't have them. I gave it a generous 4/5
