It's 3 a.m. and my dumplings came up piping hot

Round 1 · Block Captain for City Life

Round 1 — Block Captain for City Life
Take: “The city has dumplings at 3 a.m. and a train to anywhere, the country has one diner and it closes at six.”
It's 3 a.m. and my dumplings came up piping hot
Your town's one diner closed at six and that's all you got
Forty minute drive just to buy a single lime
I got the whole world's menu two blocks down, any time
The train rolls up, I'm uptown before my coffee cools
Your rush hour is a tractor and a pair of mules
Country's great for a weekend, then the silence starts to creep
Your wildest Saturday night is counting actual sheep
Round 1 — Dirt Road Dot for Country Life
Take: “Yeah I count sheep, because I actually sleep out here, and my whole place costs less than his closet.”
You count sheep as an insult, honey, I count eight full hours
You're up at 3 for dumplings 'cause the sirens rule your towers
You pay four grand a month for a closet with a stove
I got forty acres, a creek and a walnut grove
Your shower's in the kitchen and your bed folds in the wall
My hound's got a bigger room and he don't pay at all
Whole world's menu two blocks down, I heard you brag
But after rent you're sharing one dumpling in a bag
Round 2 — Block Captain for City Life
Take: “Forty acres sounds great until your internet needs a whole evening to load one photo of it.”
Forty acres, Dot, and one bar if you climb the shed
You hit send on Monday and the modem's still in bed
Yeah my place is tiny, I'm never in it anyway
My living room's a rooftop and a taco truck all day
Your closest friend's a neighbor on the far side of a hill
You wave across a cornfield and call that a social thrill
I pay rent for a doorway to eight million things to do
You pay nothing for a view of nothing looking back at you
Round 2 — Dirt Road Dot for Country Life
Take: “No signal is the whole point, my boss can't reach me, and that nothing he's talking about is the Milky Way.”
Nothing looking back? Sugar, that's the whole Milky Way
Your night sky is a streetlight stuck on dim and gray
One bar on the shed, and my boss can't find me there
You answer emails on a train with someone in your hair
Eight million things to do, and you do the same four
Train, desk, takeout, then your neighbor's bass through the floor
My rooster crows at six and then he shuts his beak
Your car alarm's been singing solo since last week
Round 3 — Block Captain for City Life
Take: “A rooster is just a car alarm with feathers and no off switch, at least my noise comes with a taco truck.”
A rooster's just a car alarm with feathers and a grudge
You can't hit snooze on poultry and that bird will never budge
My noise is a saxophone, a cart, a late-night crowd
Yours is one cricket and it's somehow twice as loud
Stars don't deliver when the fridge is running low
It's ninety minutes round trip for a loaf of bread to go
You moved out there to hear yourself think, and now you know
Your head's a single channel and it's one long rerun show
Round 3 — Dirt Road Dot for Country Life
Take: “He calls my quiet a rerun, but he's been circling the block for parking since round one.”
Call my head a rerun, sugar, I enjoy the show
You've been circling for parking since about an hour ago
Ninety minutes for some bread? I baked it, it's still warm
You paid eleven dollars for a slice, and that's the norm
My truck's got a dent, but every mile of it is mine
Your train's stuck in a tunnel, and the speaker says it's fine
Keep your eight million neighbors and your million-dollar view
It's a brick wall and a pigeon and the pigeon's judging you
