i saw a man in a city of clouds
in the city of clouds he prayed
he prayed to no one
prayed to the camera
the camera was not looking back at him
his body said no
but his mind said yes
his body is a statue
a statue
this building i am climbing
his head catches conversations
from far and low
he dreams of the days when
he was a real man
in the city of clouds
in the city of clouds
his body said no
but his mind said yes
his body is a statue
a statue
this building i am climbing
the natives saw
his tears dissolve
his plaster body
the natives saw
his tears dissolve
his plaster body
they will never crack your shell.
they will never crack your shell.
they will never crack your shell.
in the city of clouds he prayed
he prayed to no one
prayed to the camera
the camera was not looking back at him
his body said no
but his mind said yes
his body is a statue
a statue
this building i am climbing
his head catches conversations
from far and low
he dreams of the days when
he was a real man
in the city of clouds
in the city of clouds
his body said no
but his mind said yes
his body is a statue
a statue
this building i am climbing
the natives saw
his tears dissolve
his plaster body
the natives saw
his tears dissolve
his plaster body
they will never crack your shell.
they will never crack your shell.
they will never crack your shell.
