Sound of the Cities

The sound of the cities, lonely noises
Smoke while they're breathing, gettin' closer
The cold of the people, laying down
And the town goes wild when the crowd goes around

I saw you dreaming, roller coaster, the breeze
Of the evening, fries and toasts
You wanted the stars, but you love
The feeling of the night drowning in city lights

I sold my best
I saw you at last
Loving the town

I sold my best
I saw you at last
Lost in the town

The sound of the cities, talking noises
Someone cracks a bottle, a bottle of roses
At 5 a. M., someone plays that song
About waking on a sunny day

I saw you greeting little creatures, two birds
And bees and some odd flying pictures
You want the sky, so do I, what about buying the space
And making that our yard?

I sold my best
I saw you at last
Loving the town

I sold my best
I saw you at last
Lost in the town

And I swear you were dancing and dancing on the air
With the sound of the cities
