Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky He is all alone and wonderin' why Ivory white but feelin' kind of blue Cause theres no one there to share the view There's too many vacancies He's been feelin' oh so empty And as the sun sets over the sound He just goes to sleep Built in boast as the tallest on the coast He was once the city's only toast And old postcards was positioned as a star He was looked up to with fond regard But in 1962 The needle made it's big debut And everybody forgot What it outgrew He wonders where the workers are Who once filled every floor The elevators operate But don't much anymore Anymore Anymore Teardrop windows cryin' in the sky How the years have quickly past her by Gleaming white 'gainst the deepest baby blue He is lonely just like me and you Cause there's too many vacancies He's been feelin' oh so empty And as the sun sets over the sound He just goes to sleep There's too many vacancies He's been feelin' oh so empty And when the maids they turn out the lights He just goes to sleep
