I'll never learn my lesson
I mumble down the street
I make a faint impression
'Cause I am incomplete

I tried to be there
In the open
I tried to make you proud

And I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Until I slowly disappear

Make myself up for tourists
And join the living dead
There's no more room for purists
My blues will turn to red

I tried to be there
In the open
I tried to make you proud

And I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Until I slowly disappear

Yeah I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Till there's nothing more to fear

(Her colors on the sidewalk
Her lips will move but they won't talk
So I'm trying to uncover
The stillness of my lover
And in her skyward reaches
I know there's nothing more)

I'll never learn my lesson
I mumble down the street

And I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Until I slowly disappear

Yeah I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Till there's nothing more to fear

(Her colors on the sidewalk
Her lips will move but they won't talk
So I'm trying to uncover
The stillness of my lover
And in her skyward reaches
I know there's nothing more)
