作词 : Siberry | |
the outline of the city | |
the sheerness of its height | |
I thought that I was kidding | |
when I said - I love this sight | |
I love this skyline | |
towers rising from the trees | |
white bars on a blue graph | |
not exactly flapping in the breeze | |
cast upon a great white plaza | |
filtered down through architects' maps | |
a stand of glassy super-structures | |
rising from the sprawling city flats | |
streaming to the blue sea | |
gleaming like beluga | |
reduced to teeming atoms | |
and shimmering in the heat | |
hope you have your camera | |
hope you have some paper | |
because if no one gets this down | |
then it's gone forever | |
this is the elevator | |
I press all the buttons | |
every floor is different | |
a different number anyway | |
the marble in the lobby | |
the silent corridors | |
is this the new church | |
out of which.. no one pours | |
I feel I'm rising higher | |
I must be in the clouds by now | |
I knew it when I saw it | |
I picked the right office tower | |
I feel I heard it lift off | |
break away from all the rest | |
lifting its great heaviness | |
hope you have your camera ... | |
strange when I think about it | |
well, that I should write of birds | |
and flying things | |
I always tried to avoid it | |
reminds me of dumb girls and bad poetry | |
well - I'm not perfect | |
I don't know why it moves me | |
maybe I'm going to die soon | |
a secret known only to | |
known only to not even me | |
I want to live forever | |
I fear maybe you don't | |
I fear that I will lose you | |
leave me here to carry on alone | |
that's why I'm not that surprised | |
that one has broken away | |
has lifted from the silent earth | |
and carried me away | |
hope you have your camera | |
hope you have some paper | |
because if no one gets this down | |
then it's gone forever | |
a crystalline set of dominoes | |
except not really crystalline | |
and sort of domino-like | |
but not really | |
life is a tall white building | |
lifting from the silent earth | |
it's carrying a message | |
carrying it away | |
I am only... | |
I am only... |
