Metropolis
(专辑: Tenement Steps - 1980)
Once upon a
time when we imagined Many years ago when time was young What kind of magic did we see there? Only Heaven knows Not so long ago, there was a
small town Suddenly, a
star began to grow And if you look up in the
sky It's high rise The
trees began to disappear Department stores were born And let me tell you something, dear There's escalators everywhere Metropolis, Metropolis, you just had to be Metropolis, Metropolis, a
page in history Metropolis, oh, what a
curse, oh, what a
buzz in the
city Metropolis, just look what you've done to me The
night is ablaze with the
glory Another page burns with the
dawn Sunset days from my hometown Have long been gone The
beggar lies down with the
rich man Together, they dream in the
past And if you walk a
rich girl down the
street It's high class They've got her name inside a
bank A
memory concern Where people play the
numbers game With calculators everywhere Metropolis, Metropolis, you just had to be Metropolis, Metropolis, a
page in history Metropolis, oh, what a
curse, oh, what a
buzz in the
city Metropolis, just look what you've done to me Not so long ago, there was a
small town Suddenly, a
star began to grow And if you look up high into the
sky It's high rise The
trees began to disappear Department stores were born And let me tell you something, dear There's escalators everywhere Metropolis, Metropolis, you just had to be Metropolis, Metropolis, a
page in history Metropolis, oh, what a
curse, oh, what a
buzz in the
city Metropolis, just look what you've done Metropolis, Metropolis, you just had to be Metropolis, Metropolis, a
page in history Metropolis, Metropolis, you just had to be Metropolis, Metropolis, just look what you've done Look what you've done to me
