The Windows on the World |
I said to my friend Kid, «I know I’m just a tourist, but |
It’s your New York duty to turn my tourist frown upside down» |
So he took me to a party for fire eaters |
We did drugs in the toilet, yeah, we were so downtown |
I said, «Will there be a band? |
God, I hope not |
Isn’t it beautiful, doesn’t it feel like the end of the world? |
I mean you can already see the ruins start to grow |
The end of the world’s gonna be beautiful» |
Later on I said to Kid, «Hey, look at me, look at me |
I’m on the top of the first world with a free beer» |
He said, «Don't worry my dear, they’ll let any trash in here» |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
I remember trying to bore the bored barmaid |
I said, «You know babe from here you can see forever» |
She said, «Yeah, I know I got it made, here’s your fucking beer |
I love that look it’s so Unabomber.» |
I said to Kid, «We build these beautiful tombs |
And then the dead trap us all inside» |
He said, «Mark, if you’re so goddamn smart |
Tell me why tourists always wanna get so high?» |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
If I snap my fingers what will I get? |
If I snap my fingers what will I get? |
If I snap my fingers what will I get? |
That’s right, anything I want, anything I want |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world |
