An Architects Dream

from Industrial City In The Clouds by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

The City is moving
Moving through the light
I'm dreaming this picture
When the sky falls down I can see their bright eyes

The paper is still white
(However) The green is in my head
Paper scratches under my crayon
My big, black heart paints a street of a thing, alive, with coco smells in the skies

For mankind

The city is building into the sky
The glass and white lines
Are the empty basis of the torture in my mind

The streets are paving
The whaling fleet they once knew
A viral thing
And some call it art
Some call it crime
But it's real and high
And I say I did it all for your

Mankind

Building
The architects dream
(The city is moving)

The city is moving
Moving through the light
And I guess I was drunk
Now I see this dollhouse reaching for the sky

Water is streaming in canals that once disappeared
In my dream I saw a lively city
Reaching for the big blue sky
With a beating heart
For everyone to fly

Now you're man?
Kind?
