The Windows on the World by American Music Club Lyrics

[Verse1]
I said to my friend Kid, "I know I'm just a tourist, but
It's your New York duty to turn my tourist frown upside down"
So he took me to a party for fire eaters
We did drugs in the toilet, yeah, we were so downtown

I said, "Will there be a band? God, I hope not
Isn't it beautiful, doesn't it feel like the end of the world?
I mean you can already see the ruins start to grow
The end of the world's gonna be beautiful"

Later on I said to Kid, "Hey, look at me, look at me
I'm on the top of the first world with a free beer"
He said, "Don't worry my dear, they'll let any trash in here"

[Chorus]
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
[Verse 2]
I remember trying to bore the bored barmaid
I said, "You know, babe, from here you can see forever"
She said, "Yeah, I know I got it made, here's your fucking beer
I love that look it's so Unabomber."

I said to Kid, "We build these beautiful tombs
And then the dead trap us all inside"
He said, "Mark, if you're so goddamn smart
Tell me why tourists always wanna get so high?"

[Chorus]
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world

[Bridge]
If I snap my fingers what will I get?
If I snap my fingers what will I get?
If I snap my fingers what will I get?
That's right, anything I want, anything I want

[Chorus]
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
At the windows on the world
