I Dream Of Cities

All of my dreams are in New York

All of my thoughts are bound to flee

Paris, Madrid; Tokyo, Delhi

Did you all go traveling to get away from me?

Most of my heart is in Berlin

This is where all my dreams begin

L.A., Milan, London, Beijing

Did you all go traveling to never let me in?

For years and years I tried to hide

the Eiffel Towers of Copenhagen

I had a billion people

hiding in my basement.

Oh Copenhagen how it hurts,

deep down in my belly

To think of how I loved you

and was never loved in return.

I dream of cities, I dream of neon lights

I dream of cities, I dream of coloured skies

I dream of sushi cooks, I dream of Auster books

I dream of cities, I dream of skyline views

I dream of cities, I dream of drug abuse

I dream of business suits, I dream of prostitutes

I dream of cities, I dream of mere cement

I dream of cities, I dream of Liebeskind

I dream of things rebuilt, I dream of dreams fulfilled

I dream of cities, I dream in neon lights
