Looking down on empty streets,

All of the buildings,

All of the cars.

Were once just a dream,

In somebody's head.

Pictures the steam.

She pictures a soul,
Dm7 (Am)
With no leak at the seam.

Pulling out the papers,

From the drawers that slide smooth.

In the warm velvet box,

To the priest; he's the doctor,

He can handle the shocks.

The tremble in the hips;

Of kissing Mary's lips.
