Owl City - Designer Skyline lyrics

Affection, the gifted architect
Is making a draft and beautiful design
The options and possibilities
Are endless when we connect and re-align

Collections of books and documents
Arise and parade around my cluttered desk
Reworking the math and measurements
Until I'm convinced these
Plans are picturesque
Like mountains in the Midwest

Reaction creates the columns dark
And wide like the roads
Around Fort Lauderdale
The structures begin to take their shape
Before I've designed the public monorail

The turnpike and high-speed motorway
Connect and enclose the
Quaint suburban streets
The airport, the broad suspension bridge
The lake and the beach
Where several rivers meet
Compounded from the spreadsheet

A city sparkles in the night
How can it glow so bright?
The neighborhoods surround the
Soft florescent light
Designer skyline in my head
Abstract and still well-read
You went from numbered lines
To buildings overhead
