Why do I have to stay here on the ground? It's overrated The cityscape escapes you with a sound, it's delineated I waited at the station for an hour, but I won't make it You take off on an updraft by the tower and you overtake it Every moon that I see you on the rise You're drawn across the sky Now that ink has dried And I can't tell you why Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue? I've seen it clouded all around you I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue? I've seen it clouded all around you I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before And I can't tell you why No, I can't tell you why Why do you have to stay here on the ground?

I've seen it clouded all around you I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue? I've seen it clouded all around you I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before And I can't tell you why (And I can't tell you why) (And I can't tell you why) (And I can't tell you why) (I can't tell you why) tell me there's an issue (I can't tell you why) I've seen it clouded all around you (I can't tell you why) I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before (I can't tell you why) oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue? (I can't tell you why) I've seen it clouded all around you (I can't tell you why) I hear you tell me there's an issue You've seen before And I can't tell you why I can't tell you why
