Floating City

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.
Yeah, floating city... yeah.

T.V. 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 that we're advanced with what we know,
That our spirit never had time to grow.

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, yeah. I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah, floating city... yeah... hey.

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.

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, 'cause I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah, floating city... yeah.
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, 'cause I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah, floating city... yeah.
Oh... come and, oh... come and...
