Uptown Odyssey Songtext
von Galactic

Open minds and open skies
All dolled up in canned plays
While they were burning through the heat
And the heat burned through the sky
Ever since they were young
Two things were never spared
Summertime was theirs
And there was no time left to care

Let it breathe
Take your shoes off

Live and dangerous
Something′s been to rest
A reckless summer is a glorious mess
All journey gotta 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 to come
Their innocence began to fade
They were 17 years old
Felt like birds let out of a cage

Ease on your back
Time to get decadent

Live and dangerous
Something′s been to rest
A reckless summer is a glorious mess
All journey gotta be an uptown odyssey
Uptown odyssey

When they hit the city
Thought that they had seen it all
There were people moving everywhere
And the buildings standing tall
Black and white frame so bright
Now in color, dark as night
Like dreaming through your sleep
Or waking in your flight

Who's that?
Make it easy on yourself


Live and dangerous
Something's been to rest
A reckless summer is a glorious mess
All journey gotta be an uptown odyssey
Uptown odyssey
