Liza - Rhythm

Rhythm
The rhythm of the city
The rhythm of the streetcar moving past under your feet
The rhythm of satisfied moans leaving their empty plates behind
The rhythm of the sound waves coming from Frenchmen Street
The rhythm of the horse’s hooves clapping the dry pavement
The rhythm of shoes tapping to the harmonious beat
The rhythm exasperated sighs with the rain, the hail, the sleet
The rhythm of the city is incomparable to any other rhythm
