Dunwoody
wood -> a woodblock/axe; Perimeter Mall, Central Perimeter towers
Lyrics
[Intro - 10 second instrumental, no vocals: a woodblock knocking, an axe chopping, a beat building] [Verse 1] Out by the Perimeter where the big mall glows, a forest of towers in tidy rows; knock on the wood for the luck you need, Dunwoody humming at commuter speed. [Verse 2] Done with the woods but the name stays true, chop, chop, chop the long day through; a hollow knock in the marble halls, the suburb-city where the timber calls. [Chorus] Dunwoody, Dunwoody, knock on wood, the Perimeter's humming like it always would; chop, chop, chop, let the workday ring, a north-side beat on a wooden string. [Outro - instrumental, no vocals: the woodblock and axe ringing out, fading]
