lyrics

Raymond Hood dreamt of
A city of towers, bridges of life.
Shot through with air.
Shot through with light.
"A City Under One Roof."
Structured and strange.

Why on earth would anything stay the same?

Black brick and gold trim
It soaks up the illuminated night.
Architecture of light.

Sea-green terracotta on vermillion flame.
It flows side by side, to and fro
Architecture of controlled waves.

Auburn limestone up a running frame.
It races to the sky, in motion and growth.
Architecture of a mountain of
re-imagined stone...

There's no such thing as contradiction.
There's space, difference, and position.
There's splits, ruptures, and divisions.
Each cut from temporal blindness and vision.
Bridges of style.

He livened the city and squeezed
Us inside.
Blending our bodies into
Azure skies.
We follow ourselves into each other.
Each to their own. All in together.

Effect follows form.
Effect will outlast.
Where is there Truth in
Concrete, steel, or glass?
