lyrics

the city of our dreams turns the cold reality
into a flooded place to hide in the blurry sweet of lights
men gather in the dark speak in codes and act bizarre
and the endless streets they build are deceits to chain your will

the city’s only aim is to bring us under
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun

the city of our dreams stops the sun from bursting in
and dust is all we breath when the rain is never seen
as dazed as we may be we never speak of what we see
the hooded give us lead so we follow and believe

the city’s only aim is to bring us under
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun

the glassy palisades rise high without a gate
and light shines down in red when the sky is brightly led
but in the atmosphere of steam there’s lovelyness unseen
a bird that’s flying free from control and harmony

the city’s only aim is to bring us under
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun

the city’s only aim is to bring us under
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun
still a blind man tells me that he’s only here for fun
