Damon Albarn - The Tower of Montevideo lyrics

[Verse 1] The tower of Montevideo has many rooms Some of them are empty since I left you Standing in silhouette by the long window Drinking coffee and scrutinized by a black cat Who lies on the daybed and abandons the world As the hours slide off the page like clouds somewhere else [Verse 2] Once there was cinema and there were parties And a light at the top of the tower could reach Argentina (since I left you) Where they talk behind doors of distant lands and faraway places And the portrait of the architect was kept down in the basement Of the tower of Montevideo Oh, the tower of Montevideo [Outro] I can hear voices, I can hear footsteps Ghost of an empty room, Montevideo
