lyrics

On an ordinary Monday
On any downtown street
All the people are actors
No one you’d like to meet
Every exchange is scripted
Roles are often reversed
Even the improvisation
Is completely rehearsed

When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head

Took a left down a side street
And walked into another time
Modern buildings replaced
By echoes of 1939
Men in fedoras
Fading in and out
I drifted aimlessly amongst
The nebulous crowd

When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head

One day I saw your face
Reflected in a midtown window
Sunlight warming tempered glass
And the city came to life
I tried to catch up to you
But lost you in the crowd

When you walk through
The city of the dead
This is the tune
That plays in your head
