Metropolis - The Motors

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
