Shadows of Tall Buildings

I'LL NEVER LEARN MY LESSON

I MUMBLE DOWN THE STREET

I MAKE A FAINT IMPRESSION

CAUSE I AM INCOMPLETE

I TRIED TO BE THERE

IN THE OPEN

I TRIED TO MAKE YOU PROUD

I WILL WALK THROUGH SHADOWS OF TALL BUILDINGS

UNTIL I SLOWLY DISAPPEAR

MAKE MYSELF UP FOR TOURISTS

AND JOIN THE LIVING DEAD

THERE'S NO MORE ROOM FOR PURISTS

MY BLUES WILL TURN TO RED

I TRIED TO BE THERE

IN THE OPEN

I TRIED TO MAKE YOU PROUD

I (HER COLORS ON THE SIDEWALK)

WILL WALK (HER LIPS WILL MOVE BUT THEY WON'T TALK)

THROUGH SHADOWS (SO I'M TRYING TO UNCOVER)

OF TALL BUILDINGS (THE STILLNESS OF MY LOVER)

UNTIL THERE'S NO (AND IN HER SKYWARD REACHES)

THING MORE (I KNOW THERE'S NOTHING MORE)

TO FEAR
