All of my dreams are in New York All of my thoughts are bound to flee Paris, Madrid; Tokyo, Delhi Did you all go traveling to get away from me? Most of my heart is in Berlin This is where all my dreams begin L.A., Milan, London, Beijing Did you all go traveling to never let me in? For years and years I tried to hide The Eiffel Towers of Copenhagen I had a billion people Hiding in my basement Oh Copenhagen how it hurts Deep down in my belly To think of how I loved you And was never loved in return I dream of cities, I dream of neon lights I dream of cities, I dream of coloured skies I dream of sushi cooks, I dream of Auster books I dream of cities, I dream of skyline views I dream of cities, I dream of drug abuse I dream of business suits, I dream of prostitutes I dream of cities, I dream of mere cement I dream of cities, I dream of Liebeskind I dream of things rebuilt, I dream of dreams fulfilled I dream of cities, I dream in neon lights
