Designer Skyline Lyrics

Designer Skyline lyrics

Affection, the gifted architect

Is making a draft and beautiful design

The options and possibilities

Are endless when we connect and
re-align

Collections of books and documents

Arise and parade around
my cluttered desk

Re-working the math and measurements

Until I’m
convinced these plans are picturesque 

Like mountains in the Midwest



Reaction creates the columns dark

And wide like the roads around
Fort Lauderdale

The structures begin to take their shape

Before I’ve
designed the public monorail 

The turnpike and high-speed motorway

Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets

The airport, the broad
suspension bridge

The lake and the beach, where several rivers meet

Compounded from the spreadsheet



A city sparkles in the night

How can it glow so bright?

The neighborhoods surround a soft fluorescent
light

Designer skyline in my head

Abstract and still well-read

You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead
