|
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 |
