|
Teardrop windows crying in the sky, he is all alone and wondering why |
|
Ivory white, but feeling kinda blue, cause there's no one there to share the view |
|
There's too many vacancies, he's been feeling all so empty |
|
And when the sun sets over the Sound, he just goes to sleep |
|
Built in boast, as the tallest on the coast |
|
He was once the city's only toast |
|
In old post cards, was positioned as the star, he was looked up to with fond regard |
|
But in 1962 the Needle made it's big debut |
|
And everybody forgot what it outgrew |
|
He wonders where the workers are, who once filled every floor |
|
The elevators operate, but don't much anymore, anymore, anymore |
|
Teardrop windows crying in the sky, how the years have quickly passed him by |
|
Gleaming white against the deepest baby blue, he is lonely just like me and you |
|
There's too many vacancies, he's been feeling all so empty |
|
When the sun sets over the Sound, he just goes to sleep |
|
There's to many vacant seats, he's been feeling all so empty |
|
And when the maids, they turn off the lights, he just goes to sleep |
