lyrics

yeah, the city librarian
snaps pictures of all that moves
On the top floor of vitruvius station
By the foothills of the point of view

I made it to the top floor 53
one time at a time ungodly
but she framed me up and shot me
and asks "do you wanna see

she says I've been here
a few times before
I say anne I haven't
got the time at all
oh tell me I'm getting through
The monkey grab on to
the funicular for the point of view

and the earless man he grabbed my elbows
I wonder how I didn't see
him at a pillar or in the shadows
must've been the lack of sleep

took me to the exit elevator
lifting me half off the ground
he asks me why i'm always carrying
my head with me all around

I try my best to explain
that its just the way I've always been
but he breaks up all my sentences
with cinema novo scenes

He says I've been here
a few times before
but this ride is mine
once and for all
oh tell me I'm getting through
The monkey grab on to
the funicular for the point of view

And anne, she waltzes over and asks
if cardoso was his thing
he says yeah I was pals with lucio
till i traded my prints for dreams

were the times any good she asks
he says not if you like to laugh
I feigned interest as he started rambling
they forgot me and I just took my chance

I thought I've been here
a few times before
but I just might make
the beeline for the door
oh tell me I'm getting through
The monkey grab on to
the funicular for the point of view

up to the point of view
there's no sense or rhyme
to the going about the ways
Of impossible time

up to the point of view
there's no me or you
to the going about the ways
Of impossible time

up to the point of view
there's no sense or rhyme
to the going about the ways
Of impossible time

up to the point of view
there's no me or you
to the going about the ways
Of impossible time
