Metropolis Lyrics

Once there was lightPerfectly whiteFar as the eye could wanderOnce there was timeMorning and nightOnce there was sky -- over yonderThe day beginsMetropolis lies sleeping like a drunken soldierBehind the wheel you come aliveAnd down into its heart you motorAtop the rise - MetropolisDefender of the high and mightyAt every turn the homeless waitReminding you of all that might beHurry now, there is somebody there to meet youOffice girls sweet and innocent poised to greet youThrough the glass fifty stories below youThere's a place I've been meaning to show youFull of sights that are certain to blow you awayBeneath the hazeMetropolis awakens with a hiss and rumbleYou'll hear a knock, don't hesitateThey mustn't ever see you stumbleYou'll never last down on the streetWhere staying on your toes ain't balletIt's getting by or getting beatFrom curtain to the grand finaleIn the air there is music and sounds of laughterFor the moment it's happily ever afterThrough the glass fifty stories below youIn the shadows where nobody knows youThere's a stranger who's dying to show you the wayNow entering MetropolisCreation of a world gone crazyThe alleyway - the resting placeStill echo from the souls trapped underYou lock the doors, step on the gasAnd push until it goes no fasterYou close your eyes and leave behind Metropolis lord and master
