Metropolis Lyrics
There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
And it's only a day away
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way
Dream in black and white
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
Back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to?
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way
Dream in black and white
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
Back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to?

no comments? this is one of the best church songs..
I agree AladdinInsane. Great band!
This song reminds me of when my husband and I lived mid-continent USA and we would fantasize of driving all night to get back to Tampa, Florida--where we met...where the oranges grew and the weather was rediculous.
I agree with all of you. Not sure if it is their best song but at worst it ties with Under the Milky way for their best song.
I get that it is two people who left a place where they were happy. Right now they are having some rough times but feels that maybe things could be better if they made a road trip back to the city, maybe to visit or maybe to stay.
What an amazing song. So beautifully put together; even after all these years I still fall in love with it all over again every time I hear it. I've never really been able to decipher what it's about but it's never taken away from it for me.
