Songwriters: Clifford, Jay;In the shadows of tall buildings  Of fallen angels on the ceilings  Oily feathers in bronze and concrete  Faded colors, pieces left incomplete  The line moves slowly past the electric fence  Across the borders between continents    In the cathedrals of New York and Rome  There is a feeling that you should just go home  And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is    In the shadows of tall buildings  The architecture is slowly peeling  Marble statues and glass dividers  Someone is watching all of the outsiders  The line moves slowly through the numbered gate  Past the mosaic of the head of state    In the cathedrals of New York and Rome  There is a feeling that you should just go home  And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is    In the shadows of tall buildings  Of open arches endlessly kneeling  Sonic landscapes echoing vistas  Someone is listening from a safe distance  The line moves slowly into a fading light  A final moment in the dead of night    In the cathedrals of New York and Rome  There is a feeling that you should just go home  And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is    In the cathedrals of New York and Rome  There is a feeling that you should just go home  And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is      © PALLADIO'S TOWER MUSIC; POLYGRAM INT'L MUSIC PUBG GROUP;    these lyrics are last corrected by andy , cary nc
