Verse
D              E
In the shadows of tall buildings
A                D
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
D             E
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
A             F#
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
Bm                    E
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
A                  F#
Across the borders between continents
Chorus
Bm                E
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
A                  F#
There is a feeling that you should just go home
Bm                   E                          D
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

In the shadows of tall buildings

Marble statues and glass dividers
A                   F#
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 shadows of tall buildings
A              D
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
D                E
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
A                    F#
Someone is listening from a safe distance
Bm                    E
The line moves slowly into a fading light

A final moment in the dead of the night
