Damon Albarn The Tower of Montevideo Lyrics
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 scrutinised by the black cat
Who lies on the day bed and abandons the world
As the hours slide off the page like clouds somewhere else
In the Tower of Montevideo
Once there was cinema and we had parties
And the light at the top of the tower could reach Argentina
Where they talked behind doors of new worlds and faraway places
And the portrait of the artist was kept down in the basement
In the Tower of Montevideo
Tower of Montevideo
I can hear music
I can hear footsteps
Ghost of the empty room in Montevideo
In the Tower of Montevideo
