Where Eagles Have Been Lyrics
Wellw e always seem to worry,
Life's becoming such a flurry,
Can't you see that theres light in the dark,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
Rainbows tinted with gold,
All the stories we've been told,
Still her love is yours to behold,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
You say it's not the real world,
Though it seems so real to me,
And i know that we're never turning back,
Can you see what i see,
I had a vision,
Of festive day's,
She's like an eagle,
In the misted haze,
Sit and wonder at the sky,
Watch the river flowing by,
Now it ends and we're here at the start,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
You say it's not the real world,
Though it seems so real to me,
And i know that we're never turning back,
Can you see what i see,
I had a vision,
Of festive day's,
She's like an eagle,
In the misted haze,
Oh break my chains girl,
Show me to the land,
Where people live together,
Try to understand,
Life's becoming such a flurry,
Can't you see that theres light in the dark,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
All the stories we've been told,
Still her love is yours to behold,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
Though it seems so real to me,
And i know that we're never turning back,
Can you see what i see,
Of festive day's,
She's like an eagle,
In the misted haze,
Watch the river flowing by,
Now it ends and we're here at the start,
Nothin's quite what it seems in the city of dreams,
Though it seems so real to me,
And i know that we're never turning back,
Can you see what i see,
Of festive day's,
She's like an eagle,
In the misted haze,
Show me to the land,
Where people live together,
Try to understand,

I think this is about LA, where Wolfies recorded their album( "City of Dreams") "You say its not the real world" - people say how fake the whole industry type thing is (and they're right in my opinion...)
yeah, I told Andrew this was my favourite song when I met them.
and what did Andrew have to say when you told him that?
The intro to this song vaguely reminds me of the beginning to Marshall Tucker Band's - Can't You See.
Regardless, this song rocks as do all of their songs!
I love the guitar solo its the sickest solo ive heard in a while. with all the stupid mtv drama crap these days, this is exactly what the world needs right now. this is my favourite band right now..their sick live too...its unreal.
I agree about the beginning sounding like ''Can't You See''...this is easily my favorite Wolfmother song
timmy_r! I think they're trying to give LA a different outlook. I think they're look at it as a place to escape to where their dreams can come true. Especially the last part: Oh break my chains girl, Show me to the land, Where people live together, Try to understand
GIRL isn't a real girl, it's the city. He's hoping this'll be his big break and his chance to be free and do something he wants to.
Also, could it be talking about Hollywood? Or are you all sure it's LA?
one of the best songs on the album
all the songs on the album rock xD cant wait to see them live on norwegian wood :D
i think this song is hypnotizing like "Now it ends and we're here at the start" is the best line iver heard in a song in a while its so true for so many things
