Bill Fay - City of Dreams lyrics

rate me

I’m a street sweeper

In your city of dreams

Yeah I’m a street sweeper

In your city of dreams

Sweeping off the paper cups

Between the limousines

Street sweeper, in your city of dreams

Thousands of windows

I’m scared of what I see

Thousands of windows

I’m so scared of what I see

People wired up to telephones

Plugged into tv screens

Thousands of windows

I’m so scared of what I see

Looking at the sky above

Higher than these neon names

I’m looking at the skies above

Higher than these neon names

You can buy and sell the clouds

They ain’t among the commodities we trade

Looking at the sky above

Higher than these neon names

I’m waiting for

The city of god

Yeah I’m waiting for

The city of good

When worries will be

What was, waving for

The sea I’ve got

I’m a street sweeper

In your city of dreams

Yeah I’m a street sweeper

In your city of dreams

Sweeping off the paper cups

Between the limousines

Street sweeper, in your city of dreams

City of dreams, city of dreams.
