《The City》歌词

[00:00:00] The City - Children 18:3

[00:00:03] We are the city

[00:00:05] Where the lights come on and they never go out

[00:00:07] And the streets are filled with the children's shouts

[00:00:11] I want to hear you sing that song for me

[00:00:16] I want to capture one at a time

[00:00:18] All the little brown flecks that made my eyes go blind

[00:00:21] All the wide eyed splendor that I put in a frame

[00:00:23] I want to tear it down and let it throw perspective insane

[00:00:26] There's a light up in a box at the top of a post

[00:00:29] Giving direction to the shadows that could use it the most

[00:00:32] Turn aside pilgrim at the sound of her voice

[00:00:34] It's wisdom herself that offers the choice

[00:00:37] Oh come to the city

[00:00:41] We're taking over the world

[00:00:44] We're taking over the world

[00:00:49] We are the city

[00:00:52] With the lights strung out on the evergreen trees

[00:00:54] And the yard lit up so the neighbors can see

[00:00:57] Come on and capture what you think you couldn't keep

[00:01:02] Turn on the light switch and everything's bright

[00:01:05] It doesn't even take a moment to erase the night

[00:01:08] How would it be if I knew this was true

[00:01:10] If I opened my eyes and tried to help you

[00:01:13] What good is salt if it stops being salty

[00:01:15] I tried to run but my cover was blown

[00:01:18] What good is a map if it gives no direction

[00:01:21] And what good is home if it isn't your home

[00:01:26] Oh come to the city

[00:01:28] We're taking over the world

[00:01:31] We're taking over the world

[00:01:38] My momma said 'son you're a little man

[00:01:41] 'Listen to me and understand

[00:01:44] 'Soon we're gonna take that car

[00:01:46] 'And drive away where ever we are'

[00:01:49] Let's go

[00:01:50] We'll catch a ride to the city

[00:01:52] Let's go

[00:01:53] Where the streets are wide

[00:01:54] Let's go

[00:01:55] We'll catch a ride to the city

[00:01:57] Let's go go go go go

[00:02:11] Oh come to the city

[00:02:15] We're taking over the world

[00:02:17] We're taking over the world

[00:02:20] We're taking over

[00:02:21] Oh come to the city

[00:02:25] We're taking over the world

[00:02:28] We're taking over the world

[00:02:31] We're taking over

[00:02:32] Oh come to the city

[00:02:36] We're taking over the world

[00:02:39] We're taking over the world

[00:02:44] We are the city
