City Mashups

I just need a second to remember what I have been seeing

I've been dreaming in the fifth dimension, cities have been merging

It's a memory or new idea, it's all just too confusing

And I'm writing all my words down in this book that I am keeping

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

Redesigning the whole world as it keeps turning

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

It's a déjà vu I'm starting to believe in

We were biking through the city skyline, heading to N.Y.

With a sunset laced in purple, orange, blue magnetic dye

All the kids from the block switching pavements down some avenue

And I cracked my phone up, caught this moment, it knocked me out for good

Good, good

Skating on the pillars of the church that burnt to ground

In my version, it was over, dust was flashing, stuck in time

Bunch of people breathing the remains while gargoyles turned to grain

'Twas the strangest beauty, now it's over, I'm the foreigner

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

Redesigning the whole world as it keeps turning

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

It's a déjà vu I'm starting to believe in

Woke up at the airport, strapped for cash, can't tell you why

It's a mutilation of the nations, strangest I've come by

And eventually, I had to leave the Earth for quarantine

Took it another space, and then we held hands on the heath

Seeing all these redesigned shitholes up in the north

I say we must stay in this car 'cause there will be a kill

There's a rainbow backdrop, and my girls have started a new band

In a store that's selling all the denim, now's the time to score

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

Redesigning the whole world as it keeps turning

It's the city mashups that I have been dreaming

It's a déjà vu I'm starting to believe in
