The City |
| We are the city |
| Where the lights come on and they never go out |
| And the streets are filled with the children’s shouts |
| I want to hear you sing that song for me I want to capture one at a time |
| All the little brown flecks that made my eyes go blind |
| All the wide eyed splendor that I put in a frame |
| I want to tear it down and let it throw perspective insane |
| There’s a light up in a box at the top of a post |
| Giving direction to the shadows that could use it the most |
| Turn aside pilgrim at the sound of her voice! |
| It’s wisdom herself that offers the choice |
| Oh, come to the city |
| We’re taking over the world |
| We are the city |
| With the lights strung out on the evergreen trees |
| And the yard lit up so the neighbors can see |
| Come on and capture what you think you couldn’t keep |
| Turn on the light switch and everything’s bright |
| It doesn’t even take a moment to erase the night |
| How would it be if I knew this was true |
| If I opened my eyes and tried to help you |
| What good is salt if it stops being salty? |
| I tried to run but my cover was blown |
| What good is a map if it gives no direction? |
| And what good is home if it isn’t your home? |
| Oh, come to the city |
| We’re taking over the world |
| My momma said 'Son, you’re a little man |
| 'Listen to me and understand |
| 'Soon we’re gonna take that car |
| 'And drive away where ever we are' |
| Let’s go We’ll catch a ride to the city |
| Let’s go where the streets are wide |
| Let’s go We’ll catch a ride to the city |
| Let’s go |
