| [00:08.36] |
Bored of the life on the city of gold |
| [00:12.47] |
He'd left and let nobody know. |
| [00:16.42] |
Gone were the towers he had known from a child, |
| [00:20.33] |
Alone with the dream of a life |
| [00:24.39] |
He travelled the wide open road, |
| [00:27.03] |
The blinkered arcade, |
| [00:29.36] |
In search of another to share in his life. |
| [00:33.33] |
Nowhere. |
| [00:36.52] |
Everyone looked so strange to him. |
| [00:40.29] |
They've got no horns and they've got no tail |
| [00:44.29] |
They don't even know of our existence. |
| [00:47.95] |
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold |
| [00:51.96] |
That lies in the deep distance, he cried |
| [00:56.08] |
And wept as they led him away to a cage |
| [00:59.89] |
Beast that can talk, read the sign. |
| [01:04.18] |
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame |
| [01:08.09] |
And questioned his story again. |
| [01:12.04] |
But soon they grew bored of their prey |
| [01:15.04] |
Beast that can talk? |
| [01:17.16] |
More like a freak or publicity stunt. |
| [01:20.97] |
Oh... |
| [01:24.15] |
No. |
| [01:28.30] |
They've got no horns and they've got no tail |
| [01:32.02] |
They don't even know of our existence. |
| [01:35.80] |
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold |
| [01:39.62] |
That lies in the deep distance, he cried |
| [01:43.34] |
And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out. |
| [01:51.53] |
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out: |
| [01:59.20] |
There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination |
| [02:07.28] |
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold. |
| [02:14.25] |
Let me take you there, show you a living story |
| [02:23.02] |
Let me show you others such as me |
| [02:28.21] |
Why did I ever leave? |
| [02:36.68] |
They've got no horns and they've got no tail |
| [02:40.54] |
They don't even know of our existence |
| [02:44.22] |
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold |
| [02:48.35] |
That lies in the deep distance, |
| [02:51.14] |
He cried and wept. |
| [03:00.00] |
And so we set out with the best and his horns |
| [03:04.17] |
And his crazy description of home. |
| [03:07.68] |
After many days journey we came to a peak |
| [03:12.14] |
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out. |
| [03:16.00] |
We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw |
| [03:21.07] |
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye that's all, |
| [03:27.73] |
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard: |
| [03:31.98] |
They've got no horns and they've got no tail |
| [03:35.94] |
They don't even know of our existence |
| [03:39.47] |
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold |
| [03:43.48] |
That lies in the deep distance |
| [03:44.44] |
(Hello friend, welcome home.) |
