[Verse 1]
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don't refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don't remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we'll unravel the mystery

[Pre-Chorus]
Farewell, all my friends in textbooks
I'm going home
Because my blood cells cannot depend on the weather
In photographs
There's a light show out my window somewhere way up there

[Chorus]
Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away

[Verse 2]
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don't refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don't remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we'll unravel the mystery
[Bridge]
I was so far out of place
Watching those stars in outer space
Because I am so far from where you are
There's a light show out my window somewhere way up there

[Chorus]
Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May
When we got carried away
