Fountain & Vine Lyrics
Open your shelters and let us all in
We're tired and homeless and hungry again
Outside my window at Fountain & Vine
The drunks and the addicts are forming a line
Sharing their stories to comfort dispair
And carry the weight of the crosses they bare
Praying for courage and wisdom to change
Serenity costs more than pocket book change
I want to tear down the walls
And shatter the image that falls
I want to turn all the tables
And give back what doesn't belong to me
Sleeping on sidewalks is how people live
Begging for something no one wants to give
The size of your wealth is a bottle of wine
Sipped with your friends you'll soon leave behind
Are your children in flames?
Incarcerated and bound by the chain?
Strangers paralyzed
Down in the gutters of Fountain & Vine
I feel like running away
Running away
Tired of seeing them falling aside
There's no running away
No running away...
I want to tear it all down
And build it all up from the ground
I want to tear down the wall
And shatter the image that falls on me
The view from down here brings mention to mind
Everything sacred on Fountain & Vine
We're tired and homeless and hungry again
Outside my window at Fountain & Vine
The drunks and the addicts are forming a line
And carry the weight of the crosses they bare
Praying for courage and wisdom to change
Serenity costs more than pocket book change
And shatter the image that falls
I want to turn all the tables
And give back what doesn't belong to me
Begging for something no one wants to give
The size of your wealth is a bottle of wine
Sipped with your friends you'll soon leave behind
Incarcerated and bound by the chain?
Strangers paralyzed
Down in the gutters of Fountain & Vine
Running away
Tired of seeing them falling aside
There's no running away
No running away...
And build it all up from the ground
I want to tear down the wall
And shatter the image that falls on me
Everything sacred on Fountain & Vine

For those of you who don't know, Fountain and Vine are both streets in Los Angeles, so Fountain & Vine are where they intersect. L.A. isn't too far from where I live, but I haven't actually gone there to check the place out.
