ODESSA BUILDING

((( Sasquatch )))

The rain is stopping, you must be near
My destination becoming clear
Odessa Building, it looms ahead
My senses stricken with nameless dread

When suddenly I hear soft footsteps fall
A shadow moves up an alleyway
The shape approaches
But I stand my ground
I have no time for fear today

Approaching stranger is just a child
But his young eyeballs are black and wild
Carved on switchblade: the name Malloy
Possession loaned to this f----d up boy

He tries to stab me but I steal the blade
The young disciple runs away
I try to chase him but he runs too fast
Perhaps we'll meet again someday

Odessa Building is where you live
You're hiding out like a fugitive
Odessa Building is where you are
I sense it strongly, I see the car

That took my Syria away from me
I know you miss your sister too
My dear Siberia
I've never seen your place
I hope you're safe, I'll rescue you

Black car parking space reserved
The plate is nameless but I'm unnerved
'Cause someone painted the letter M
This reservation belongs to him

The crimson M is writ in fingerpoint
An M in chalk is on the door
To your apartment building I've arrived
If you're not on three, I'll walk up to four

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
