Deep in the suburbs I’ve found an escape
Where we can relax and view the glimmering cityscape
Where troubles are cut short like a bad dream
Where there’s beauty in the concrete and steel beams
This beautiful treasure awaits us two
I want to spend the evening with you
Above the shuffling crowds and the smog
Where the day’s worries float away in a fog
Under the amphitheater of the stars
Set to the rushing rumble of passing cars
Here we’ve found our shangri-la
In the gold tooth of the city’s gritty maw
Up here the air is light and sweet
Up here is our favorite place to meet
Because below they can see projections
But up here we see each other’s true inflections
My darling, join me tonight on the rooftop
Where the mirth and affection never stop
Where we can relax and view the glimmering cityscape
Where troubles are cut short like a bad dream
Where there’s beauty in the concrete and steel beams
This beautiful treasure awaits us two
I want to spend the evening with you
Above the shuffling crowds and the smog
Where the day’s worries float away in a fog
Under the amphitheater of the stars
Set to the rushing rumble of passing cars
Here we’ve found our shangri-la
In the gold tooth of the city’s gritty maw
Up here the air is light and sweet
Up here is our favorite place to meet
Because below they can see projections
But up here we see each other’s true inflections
My darling, join me tonight on the rooftop
Where the mirth and affection never stop
