Through the shadows of the old high-rise
Cross the footnotes of self-sacrifice
Some place somewhere there are bluer skies
My lover lies under
Past the battle hymns of late night bars
Through the endless lines of motorcars
There's a quiet night of quiet stars
My lover lies under
I do believe I've lost my faith in Hollywood
Those dreams upon the screen ain't for the likes of us
But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love
But sometimes I wonder
Past the war in tongues and prying eyes
Through the subways and the city lights
Some place somewhere there are bluer skies
My lover lies under
I do believe I've lost my faith in Hollywood
Those dreams upon the screen ain't for the likes of us
But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love
But sometimes I wonder
Through the shadows of the old high-rise
Cross the factories floors and severed ties
There's a sunset in your paradise
My lover lies under
