Lyrics
I Am Drawing A City For You
I am drawing a city for you
A city at night where some lights are blue
Some lights are white
And some windows are dark
In one window, it?s yesterday
In another one, it?s too late
In still another one, you can see me
Dancing into the mystery
Upon the roof there?s a man at a desk
Standing next to him, a man in a dress
On the desk, there?s a mannequin?s head
Tonight on the news: What The Mannequin Said
Outside my window there?s a giant TV
Outside my window there?s a giant TV
Outside my window there?s a giant TV
And it?s always there watching me
