Damon Albarn - The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows (Deluxe)

The Tower Of Montevideo

Let's take a minute for her, ha-ha-ah

The tower of Montevideo
Has many rooms
Some of them are empty
Since I left you (since I left you)
Standing in silhouette
By the long window
Drinking coffee and scrutinized
By the black cat

Who lies on the daybed and abandons the world
As the hours slide off the page like clouds
Somewhere else

(In the tower of Montevideo)

Once there was cinema
And we were at parties
And a light at the top of the tower
Could reach Argentina (since I left you)
Where they talk behind doors of distant lands
And faraway places
And the portrait of the architect was kept
Down in the basement
Of the tower of Montevideo
The tower of Montevideo

I can hear music
I can hear footsteps
Ghost of an empty room
Montevideo

The tower of Montevideo
