Glass Towers

I took a stroll down broadway
In a part of town I used to know well
Maybe I'm stuck in the old days
But I miss a little show and tell

They hear the moans in the alleyway
Everybody's got their window down
They're stuck at home on a Friday
The uptight make uptight sounds

Glass towers in the sunlight
Like an orange on fire
Or teeth in a skull
When they glow in the moonlight
But there's a place downtown I still go

I've been looking all day
For the places where we spent those nights
But maybe when the day breaks
Everything changes, disappears in the daylight

I heard a joke from an old man playing guitar
In the shade of a tree down in Washington Square
A doppelganger and a ghost walked into a bar
The bartender said nothing
There was nobody there

Glass towers in the sunlight
Like an orange on fire
Or teeth in a skull
When they glow in the moonlight
But there's a place downtown I still go

I've been looking all day
For the places where we spent those nights
But maybe when the day breaks
Everything changes, disappears in the daylight

And I've been looking all day
For the places where we spent those nights
But maybe when the day breaks
Everything changes, disappears in the daylight

And I found you right where I left you
I think it's time we went home
And everything's so strange these days
Please take me home
