lyrics

"Solitary Sentinel"

I am a solitary sentinel
On my post, waiting for you
No matter when the subway train arrives
I'll be here to look out for you
'Cause that's what I do

They put you on the super super late shift
And even though I know
The creatures of the night are mostly friendly
I'll feel better when you're home
Besides it's not good being alone
If even one creature of the night has ambiguous intentions

I am a solitary sentinel
On my post, waiting for you
No matter when the subway train arrives
I'll be here to look out for you
'Cause that's what I do

Street lamp shadows on the block
The moon is perfectly clear
I get an extrasensory twinge
That tells me you're getting near

Who's that man over there?
Is he a potential foe?
Or is he someone just like me
Waiting for his late shift to show?

I am a solitary sentinel
On my post, waiting for you
No matter when the subway train arrives
I'll be here to look out for you
'Cause that's what I do
