City

There, smoke turns into serpents in the air

Beware, there's no sanctuary anywhere

On this very spot, a great city once stood

It oozed with evil but it felt so good

Well i don't know

Where did it go?





And here, there's lots of method in their madness dear

And we're considering remaining here

In this very house a giant was born

With two angry eyes and one sharp black horn

Well i don't know

How could he grow?





The fountains gush wine

The chimneys spurt flowers

Where me and my friends pass the fleeting hours

Well yes and no

Where did they go?





Goodbye, there's no reason, there's no alibi

I'll try to write you a letter from the cyclone's eye

On this very day, a hundred years before

They opened up the future like it was a door

Well i don't know

Where did it go?





The towers stretch up, the spires spiral odd

Behind the vicar's gate, the sign, "beware of god"

Well i don't know

Where did he go?
