{Verse 1: Will Sheff} {?} rolling by {?} blink of an eye Sing a song in the summer Sing a song Hazed-out, fogged-out days and years apart Stopping at the site where you last saw that absent father Tell me what you remember Okay, I'll start {Chorus 1: Will Sheff} I remember being green It was easy for me And I remember that green feeling leaving High up for that city in the sky Do you remember being blue? Was it natural for you? 'Cause nobody gets out of grieving High up for that city in the sky {Verse 2: Will Sheff} Was it moving back then? Was it moving along? Like a '74 song? Lots of drinking {?} Lots of waking in cars Lots of living in bars And the truth, for me, it's never changed Although it's been I don't know how many years Girl, gonna hold me, just hold me in your mind I'm down in the cellar, and I'm saying my lines And I'm dreaming that dream Am I still in the scene? I'll sing this song for the summer {Saxophone Solo} {Bridge: Beth Wawerna} She wrote a message to an old friend It read, "I'll bet we never see that city again" Skyline {?} Ice and hydrogen Just gonna both have to remember it {Chorus 2: Will Sheff} Do you remember being pink And people wanting to know what you think? There was a bar where you could always drink for free High up in that city in the sky Do you remember being right? You were automatically dynamite You would press or lean in so tight and you'd whisper to me High up, high up in that city in the sky {Verse 3: Will Sheff} {?} disco blaze, there was a song shaken loose from my heart Sing a song for the summer, for the summer Sing a song, a song {Chorus 3: Will Sheff} I feel like a ghost at the wrong feast Searching for a guest at the door of the bathroom of the bar, or the coat check (High up in that city in the sky) {?} fill the scene of some eventual star Nothing is made to last {?} can be taken {?} (High up in that city in the sky) The city, city in the sky, make my bed upon the tide See the ocean glow and see the wave, see the wave {?} (High up in that city in the sky) I don't want this to be One day I'll get killed 'Til then I wanna hold on to our love (High up in that city in the sky)
