"Dear Vienna" Lyrics

I regarded the world as such a sad sight
until I viewed it in black and white,
and I reviewed every frame
and basic shape,
and sealed the exits with caution tape

Don't refocus your eyes
in the darkness,
and don't remember this place
unless
I describe all the things
that you cannot see,
and we'll unravel the mystery

Farewell,
all my friends
in textbooks
I'm going home
because my blood cells
cannot depend
on the weather
in photographs

There's a light show
out my window
somewhere
way up
there

Dear Vienna,
are you singing?
Dear Vienna,
are you swinging?
Dear Vienna,
we were happy like the shades of May
when we got carried away

I regarded the world as such a sad sight
until I viewed it in black and white,
and I reviewed every frame
and basic shape,
and sealed the exits with caution tape

Don't refocus your eyes
in the darkness,
and don't remember this place
unless
I describe all the things
that you cannot see,
and we'll unravel the mystery

I was so far
out of place,
watching those stars
in outer space
because I am so far
from where you
are

There's a light show
out my window,
somewhere
way up
there

Dear Vienna,
are you singing?
Dear Vienna,
are you swinging?
Dear Vienna,
we were happy like the shades of May
when we got carried away
