Floating City Lyrics

You went away

Why did you leave me

You know I believed you

Nothing explained

Where are the answers

I know I need you

Tell me is your city paved with gold

Is there hunger

Do your people grow old

Do your governments have secrets that they've sold 

Every night I wait take me away

To your floating city

By my window at night

I see the lights to your floating city

Come and take me away

I want to play in your floating city

Floating city 

TV turns off

Any of us that

Say that we've seen you

Tell me are we

The only planet

That can't conceive you

Will we be like Atlantis long ago

So assured we're advanced

With what we know

That our spirit never had time to grow 

Is it weak to look for

Saviors out in space

Little Earth she tries so hard

To change our ways

Sometimes she must get

Sick of this place
