Peachtree Center

Lyrics

[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals]
[peach pits clatter in a bowl and a knife slices soft fruit; the beat builds]
[Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in]
[Instrumental — the clatter and the strings carry it alone]

[Verse 1 — vocals enter at last]
A hundred feet down in the living rock,
the deepest hold where the trains all dock;
slice the peach, hear the hard pit fall,
Peachtree Center, the heart of it all.

[Chorus]
Peachtree Center, clatter and slice,
the pits in the bowl and the gneiss so nice;
down, down, down where the atria climb,
the sweetest deep stop on the downtown line.

[Verse 2]
Portman's towers spinning overhead,
a canyon of glass where the lunch crowds tread;
the peach gives way and the pit rolls true,
Peachtree Center holding the core on through.

[Chorus]
Peachtree Center, clatter and slice,
the pits in the bowl and the gneiss so nice;
down, down, down where the atria climb,
the sweetest deep stop on the downtown line.

[Outro — vocals stop here]
[Instrumental — the peach pits rides out alone, no more singing]
[Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
