Feel the city is falling asleep now
closing her tired eyes
open the doors for the neon lights
half of the world's fighting dragons in dreams now
but here we are wide awake
we can sit and wait
we can raise our glasses
oh, and the river sings a song
and we keep on singing along
just wasting time
painting pictures on the skyline
oh, and the river knows the way
it'll always be the same
so we can take our time
painting pictures on the skyline
hear the echos of laughter, they're fading
silence is crawling in
taking a rest, then leaves again
now the sun is rising up from the basement
waving the night good bye
with our blurry eyes
we embrace the morning
oh, and the river sings a song
and we keep on singing along
just wasting time
painting pictures on the skyline
oh, and the river knows the way
it'll always be the same
so we can take our time
painting pictures on the skyline
(whistle)
oh, and the river sings a song
and we keep on singing along
just wasting time
painting pictures on the skyline
oh, and the river knows the way
it'll always be the same
so we can take our time
painting pictures on the skyline
da da, da da, da da
da da, da da, da da
da da, dada da
painting pictures on the skyline
da da, da da, da da
da da, da da, da da
da da, dada da
painting pictures on the skyline
