Song title: Jane Siberry - The Empty City

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

the outline of the city
 the sheerness of its height
 i thought that i was kidding
 whe i said --- i love this sight

i love this skyline
 towers rising from the trees
 white bars on a blue graph
 not exactly flapping in the breeze

cast upon a great white plaza
 filtered down through architects' maps
 a stand of glassy super-structures
 rising from the sprawling city flats

streaming to the blue sea
 gleaming like beluga
 reducing to teeming atoms
 and a shimmering in the wind

hope you have your camera
 hope you have some paper
 because if no one gets this down
 then it's gone forever

this is the elevator
 i press all the buttons
 every floor is different
 a different number anyway

the marble in the lobby
 the silent corridors
 is this the new church out of which...  no one pours

i feel i'm rising higher
 i must be in the clouds by now
 i knew it when i saw it
 i picked the right office tower

i feel i heard it lift off
 break away from all the rest
 lifting its great heaviness
