Banana Republic
The lights of this city
They shine on the river
They light up the tower we made
To this banana republic
From high up above it
These ants in this matchbox motorcade
They're all just people
People just moving
Moving and running around
In the eye of a needle
On a speck in an ocean
An ocean of color and sound
And if you think you're so special
And if you think you're so wonderful
And if you think you're important somehow
You are
You are my sun and my stars
No life on this planet without you
You are, you are
My world in a jar
I'm lost in the scene as I turn you around
Across a small table
I lost my balance
Fell into the pool of your eyes
I took in a lungful
And never resurfaced
I swam through a milky white sky
High up above us
And we are just people
Twisting and rolling around
In a blanket of vapor
That wraps you in satin
I cling to the hem of your gown
And if you think you're so precious
And if you think that you're so damn smart
And if you think that you're dropping my jaw
You are
You are my favorite scar
That twinges and brings me a smile
You are, you are
So near and so far
The strength in my arms as I turn you around
Do you believe me now
They shine on the river
They light up the tower we made
To this banana republic
From high up above it
These ants in this matchbox motorcade
They're all just people
People just moving
Moving and running around
In the eye of a needle
On a speck in an ocean
An ocean of color and sound
And if you think you're so special
And if you think you're so wonderful
And if you think you're important somehow
You are
You are my sun and my stars
No life on this planet without you
You are, you are
My world in a jar
I'm lost in the scene as I turn you around
Across a small table
I lost my balance
Fell into the pool of your eyes
I took in a lungful
And never resurfaced
I swam through a milky white sky
High up above us
And we are just people
Twisting and rolling around
In a blanket of vapor
That wraps you in satin
I cling to the hem of your gown
And if you think you're so precious
And if you think that you're so damn smart
And if you think that you're dropping my jaw
You are
You are my favorite scar
That twinges and brings me a smile
You are, you are
So near and so far
The strength in my arms as I turn you around
Do you believe me now
