An Air Conditioned Man

I heard the sound of the church at six
 ♪
 I fell among the cooling bricks
 ♪
 All the tall trees were still lining the avenue
 Hanging there
 Like old friends do, bystanding quietly
 ♪
 Had the game lost its spark?
 Evening star, right on cue
 ♪
 Still in a solid state
 Still in a solid state for so long
 Night train passing over
 And the sound kept on ringing 'round
 ♪
 I went the long way, I would be vindicated
 
 I kept my head down, two eyes on the paving
 ♪
 Caught in a necktie, a lifestyle in single file
 A river of brake lights to opposite lifts
 And opposite lofts
 Still in a solid state
 Still in a solid state for so long
 Night train passing over
 And the sound kept on ringing round
 ♪
 World A.D.
 You walk past the wall you first kissed her against
 How could you forget?
 While the sirens howled and the wind caressed
 Under jacaranda
 Beneath the burnt-out moon
 Or was it over there?
 Did it ever matter in the first place?
 Does she still think about it now and then?
 In her air conditioned home
 On her air conditioned street
 In an air conditioned city
