The Windows on the World - American Music Club

I said to my friend Kid, «I know I’m just a tourist, but

It’s your New York duty to turn my tourist frown upside down»

So he took me to a party for fire eaters

We did drugs in the toilet, yeah, we were so downtown

I said, «Will there be a band?

God, I hope not

Isn’t it beautiful, doesn’t it feel like the end of the world?

I mean you can already see the ruins start to grow

The end of the world’s gonna be beautiful»

Later on I said to Kid, «Hey, look at me, look at me

I’m on the top of the first world with a free beer»

He said, «Don't worry my dear, they’ll let any trash in here»

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world

I remember trying to bore the bored barmaid

I said, «You know babe from here you can see forever»

She said, «Yeah, I know I got it made, here’s your fucking beer

I love that look it’s so Unabomber.»

I said to Kid, «We build these beautiful tombs

And then the dead trap us all inside»

He said, «Mark, if you’re so goddamn smart

Tell me why tourists always wanna get so high?»

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world

If I snap my fingers what will I get?

If I snap my fingers what will I get?

If I snap my fingers what will I get?

That’s right, anything I want, anything I want

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world

At the windows on the world, at the windows on the world
