Bored of the life in the city of gold |
|
He'd left and let nobody know |
|
Gone were the towers he had known from a child |
|
Along with a dream of a life |
|
He traveled the wide open road |
|
The blinkered arcade |
|
In search of another to share in his life, nowhere |
|
Everyone looked so strange to him |
|
They got no horns and they got no tail |
|
They don't even know of our existence |
|
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold |
|
That lies in the deep distance? |
|
He cried and wept as they led him away to a cage |
|
Beast that can talk, read the sign |
|
The creatures, they pushed and they prodded his frame |
|
And questioned his story again |
|
But soon they grew bored of their prey |
|
The beast that can talk |
|
More like a freak or publicity stunt, oh oh, no no |
|
They got no horns and they got no tail |
|
They don't even know of our existence |
|
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold |
|
That lies in the deep distance? |
|
He cried and broke down the door |
|
Of the cage and marched on out |
|
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out |
|
There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination |
|
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold |
|
Let me take you there, show you a living story |
|
Let me show you others such as me, why did I ever leave? |
|
"They got no horns and they got no tail |
|
They don't even know of our existence |
|
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold |
|
That lies in the deep distance?", he cried and wept |
|
And so we set out with the beast and his horns |
|
And his crazy description of home |
|
After many days journey, we came to a peak |
|
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out |
|
We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw |
|
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's all |
|
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard |
|
They got no horns and they got no tail |
|
They don't even know of our existence |
|
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold |
|
That lies in the deep distance? |
