Sandy Springs
sand -> a shaker; edge-city office and civic hub
Lyrics
[Intro - 10 second instrumental, no vocals: sand rushing in a shaker, a beat building] [Verse 1] Glass towers humming where the Perimeter bends, a city that grew where the old road ends; not quite the country, not quite the town, just sand through the hourglass, sifting down. [Verse 2] Sandy by name on the springs and the creeks, a commuter tide that rises and peaks; shake it like a maraca, let the rush-hour spill, Sandy Springs running on a corporate thrill. [Chorus] Sandy Springs, Sandy Springs, hiss and shake, the sand keeps moving for the city's sake; rush, rush, rush through the glass and the gleam, a north-side district running like a dream. [Outro - instrumental, no vocals: the sand settling, the shaker fading]
