Teardrop windows
Benjamin gibbardHe is all alone and wondering why
Ivory white but feeling kind of blue
'cause there's no one there to share the view
There's too man vacancies
He's been feeling oh so empty
When the sun sets over the south
He just goes to sleep
Built and boast as the tallest on the coast
He was once the city's only toast
In old post cards, was positioned as a star
He was looked up to a fonder guard
But in 1962, the needle made its big debut
And everybody forgot what it outgrew
He wonders where the workers are
The ones filled every floor
The elevators operate
But don't much anymore, anymore, anymore
Teardrop windows crying in the sky
How the years have quickly passed him by
Clean and white against the deepest baby blue
He is lonely just like me and you
There's too many vacancies
He's been feeling so empty
When the sun sets over the south
He just goes to sleep
There's too many vacancies
He's been feeling oh so empty
When the maids they turn out the lights
He just goes to sleep
