[01:20.48] Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
[01:25.85] And for sixty days I knew no other road
[01:29.10]
[01:32.46] And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum
[01:39.39] I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast
[01:42.14]
[01:45.07] And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city
[01:51.00] And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city
[01:56.37]
[01:57.80] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
[02:00.44]
[02:01.82] Sweet sunlight,well I can see it in my mind's eye
[02:06.87]
[02:07.55] Yeah I remember feeling alright
[02:08.10]
[02:13.03] And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire
[02:18.71]
[02:19.40] It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire
[02:25.26]
[02:26.26] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
[02:29.45]
[02:32.56] Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city
[02:37.06]
[02:44.54] I've heard the song the morning sings
[02:46.60]
[02:47.66] Outside the gate is everything
[02:49.79]
[02:50.65] Let in the light! Let in the light!
[02:52.84]
[02:53.65] Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history
[02:58.21]
[02:59.52] She has the key she has the key
[03:01.39]
[03:02.64] Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
[03:07.63]
[03:08.32] Let in the light! Let in the light!
[03:10.38]
[03:33.82] Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream
[03:39.08]
[03:40.01] Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
[03:47.62]
[03:49.99] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
[03:52.74]
[03:56.30] Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city
[03:59.13]
[04:09.54] I said this place is an unnatural disaster
[04:11.96] And I'm a visitor here so I asked her
[04:14.39]
[04:15.51] Where are the trees, where are the trees?
[04:17.58]
[04:19.27] And she said free yourself from history
[04:23.65] That is the key! That is the key!
[04:25.26]
[04:26.64] Sweet sunlight, well I can see it in my mind's eye
[04:31.82]
[04:32.76] I see the light! I see the light!
[04:34.45]
[04:47.48] The gate is gone now, you better run
[04:49.02]
[04:57.35] Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city
[05:03.40]
[05:03.97] When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity
[05:06.65]
[05:07.21] You better run, run run run...
