[Joe Mafia]
It all started with snortin up D
Breakin in apartments, rollin in stolen cars
Stickin dicks, trickin in strip bars
Fly niggaz, whips tinted, switch it up, cop granted
Onslaught twisted, Bougard in the Clark, ripped sinned
Sudafed heads bent over when they sniffed it
Project song, birds tempted while the D's skipped it
Now add it up, jungle younger days, my head is struck
from after buck, the Hollywood swingin in Eddie Bauer truck
Close cuts, devious Devastator hot tracks bang
Very marvelous hearts string, wobbly dart sting
Melody, plated in gold, but hold the legacy
Destiny, to the death of me, roll with Killa Bees
[Chorus (x2): Joe Mafia]
Metropolis ghetto politics, mob hits
Thug logic is hot, I can't stop it
It's easier to knob and hard to knock two
City lights, gettin busy like J. lockin who
[Joe Mafia]
Benevolent, shine florescent, produce novelist transcripts
The power surge cut the lights out, save all that shit for the fuckin birds
Murder is Texas, asserted to death, perverted the skets
You confer with nothin less, the quick death
Get the head gased, dead fast, ready rock, hand cock
I shit your whole cast and I ain't dyin for friends
Onyx dense, instead of slugs, dunn, I'd rather drop jems
from fake thugs frontin, I'm not him
Since my life worth nothin, I'm not him don't get it confused
I hold peace but got a short fuse, so watch your mouth dude
In ghost towns, no white sheets, dunn, nice
when on the mic piece, 3 points stance with metal cleets
I tackle the track, a battle cat
Leave the grade off the wall, mad mafia rap, cannibal impact
I rattle clicks and I ain't havin shit, I'm emphatic wish
Strategic war tactics you lack, murder one element
[Chorus]
[Joe Mafia]
It all floors from the source, abort the cause of this
Corporates you could take an add-on, puffin some ?
Snake bite, venomous peak game with the swiftness
Crack vile smile, stuff my hand shakes, fuckin with grinches
Higher cake look, it's easier with hooks
Pipes grillin mafia, but you shook with it sunnin who
My team spitted, niggaz on some petty ass pleads
stoppin for murder reps, I plnat my lice fan on the streets
Stretch, escapin death with every step, hold my own weight
Control fate, plus with sole mate, on some mistakes
And who bets on who bubble gates, my mental beyond moets and cristal
I'm poppin high burnin pistols and need no switch dials
Dealin with cats lustin for scraps, whippin hustle cracks
We block jostle, fuckin with rats, rollin out welcome mats
It's hellbound, bustin my crown, seven point five
Known to get live, conquer new land, I will survive

A monument of insane thoughts,
clad in iron hellfire.
The massive towers of Babylon,
leading way up to the sky...
And deep below, the underground-
the odem of a soulless world.
The giant clockwork that swallows all,
ticks all life away....
That's Metropolis...
A thousand men of broken hope,
slaves to the devil's machine.
Kept alive, by iron lounges,
down in Metropolis city.
The massive towers of babylon,
leading way up to the sky.
And deep below, the underground-
the odem of a soulless world.
That's Metropolis...

Endless tension , walking corpses
You see in their faces sad frustation
Cops are hitting , cars are crashing
And piles of people are sucking smog
1. And I die slowly in this grave
My grave , in wich millions will die
The glasscases are showing fashions
While beggars beg for a piece of bread
Busses are filled with human masses
And a dog4s crushed by the wheels
2. And I cry surrounded by stress
and I think , How can I live in this mess?
Chorus:
And the hate is growing high,
And the city grows to the sky,
We're just some little scums,
Trapped in our own pretty tomb

Hello mate!
It´s an instrumental, so no lyrics !!!

Wake up in this sad city, unemployed and hopes to be with diamonds in her ears
The people all around her say, "Good luck with that"
Can't even pay this month's rent, it nears "Gril, I'm worried for you"
But it's not like her to worry
But she needs to follow the need to swallow pride to get where she wants, pride to get to where she wants
And they say she's losing the path she's choosing
Don't count her out, she'll seize the day
Now she's making good money
Dreams aren't as far as they seemed
People now, they see
And she keeps on running to--she's still finding her way
She falls and rises
But it's not like her to worry
Through sweat and blood she'll see
You can't break this faith from me, this faith that will not be raped
And it fuels my life's ambition
Come. Crush. Kill. Dreams.
Try quickly, cause I'll shove it back in your face, and I'll show you what I'm made of
And you can't make it
Take the dreams that you're running towards
Stop your screaming
Run until your not alone
You are not alone

Metropolis, the worlds collide
Ain't nobody could be on your side
I don't care, I don't care
Metropolis is something new
Ain't nobody got their eye on you
I don't care, it's nowhere
Metropolis, the worlds collide
Ain't nobody on the other side

The Lords of Utopia sit at the top of the world
They fashion the destiny of every boy and girl
Hush! We know whats best for you!
Don't think! You're just supposed to listen to me!
Madmen will tell you of life in the abyss of space
They question the Fathers of Science, denying the faith
These things, they're just too much for you!
Don't ask! Don't question why! Just do as we say!
Behold Metropolis we've built for you
The Fathers shed their tears, their blood, their lives
for you
It's lights are brighter than the stars, they shine for
Here everyone's the same, no wants, no needs

Instru

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
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
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
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

Now this is right but it feels so wrong and I don't know where to go, or where to hide myself from everyone.
This is where we dance. This is where we forget our regrets. Its time to calculate which one of us will make it till' the end.

Se me caen las emociones
Se me rasga el corazón
Se me nieblan las razones
Letanías de un amor
Anochecen los recuerdos
Y me lleno de temor
Con espasmos me retuerzo
Letanías de un amor
Y me tenso como un arco
Y me lleno de color
Soy la luz y soy tu espacio
Letanías de un amor
Algo vibra en mi garganta
Y es sonido vencedor
Algo grita y no se aguanta
Letanías de un amor
Oh!, oh!, Metrópolis
Oh!, oh!, Metrópolis
Cuando no hay mas horizontes
Que tu frente y tu perfil
Yo me pierdo en mi desierto
Y me voy pensando en ti
Si de pronto estoy viviendo
Cada historia que viví
Si mi sueño no me sueña
Es que estoy pensando en ti
Oh!, oh!, Metrópolis
Oh!, oh!, Metrópolis
(Repite estribillo).

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
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with youYou 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
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
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

Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I left my heart in Metropolis.
So far apart, I check that the coast was clear,
I feel like a post card, I wish you were here.
Subway through the dark, tearing through the park.
Taxi down the street, the avenue's at my feet
Don't matter much to me what it is that I do, as long as I'm coming home
With you.
Oh oh oh, as far as I can see,
You're the only one, the only one who can get to me.
Like a high jacked plane, or a runaway train,
Or a speeding bullet, there's no stopping me!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
A thousand miles feels like a million years,
Like hundreds of postcards that say I wish you were here!
Airplane through the sky, grey all racing by,
Air bike on the beach, sailboat on the sea,
Don't matter much to me what it is that I do, as long as I'm coming home
With you.
Oh oh oh, as far as I can see,
You're the only one, the only one who can get to me.
Like a high jacked plane, or a runaway train,
Or a speeding bullet, there's no stopping me!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
Like a high jacked plane, or a runaway train,
Or a speeding bullet, there's no stopping me!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
I left my heart in Metropolis!
Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I can't even take it in.

The smile of dawn
Arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eleuding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in my eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home
It can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is love

Once there was light, perfectly white, far as the eye could wander
Once there was time, morning and night
Once there was sky, over yonder
The day begins, metropolis lies sleeping like a drunken soldier
Behind the wheel you come alive and down into its heart you motor
Atop the rise, metropolis, defender of the high and mighty
At every turn the homeless wait, reminding you of all that might be
Hurry now, there is somebody there to meet you
Office girls sweet and innocent poised to greet you
Through the glass fifty stories below you
There's a place I've been meaning to show you
Full of sights that are certain to blow you away
Beneath the haze, metropolis awakens with a hiss and rumble
You'll hear a knock, don't hesitate, they mustn't ever see you stumble
You'll never last down on the street, where staying on your toes ain't ballet
It's getting by or getting beat, from curtain to the grand finale
In the air there is music and sounds of laughter
For the moment it's happily ever after
Through the glass fifty stories below you
In the shadows where nobody knows you
There's a stranger who's dying to show you the way
Now entering metropolis, creation of a world gone crazy
The alleyway, the resting place, still echo from the souls trapped under
You lock the doors, step on the gas and push until it goes no faster

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow
One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet
Both police cars came, but I got away
It was a boomtown back in'62, 'til the coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
That we all used to fish
Population 405 and I made it 404 one night
And left the city limit sign layin' in the ditch
Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis
Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard
It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far
Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May
Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place
Where we can walk down to the country store
And we won't even have to lock our door
We can still get air and water there for free
She said that sounds good to me
It was a boomtown back in '62, 'til the coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
That we all used to fish
Poupulation 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more
And there's a city limit sign layin' in the ditch
That I need to fix, back in Metropolis
I'm almost in Metropolis

Morning found you in my car
Without keys you won't get very far
Loosely based on fiction of schemes
They won't ever get you there
Killing all the kings emissares
Calling queens out of the stars
Loosely based on fiction of dreams
They won't ever get you there
God is waiting for some way you feel alright for the sky
I'm drowning here in the sunny light
I wonder why you feel alone
Inside me I'm a drowning fool
Daylight found you in my car
Without keys you won't get very far
God is waiting for some way you pay for my attitude
And its alright he's out of tune
She turns into her mothers eyes
Because you're in doubt before you feel her eyes
Before the sky I'm drowning here in sunny light
Wonder why you feel alone

View a sky without any blue.
Breakfast on incandescent, built to chew.
Dream to find another world
Where a cyborg can love and a cyber girl is still a queen.
[Chorus:]
Where there's no law,
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control
Warning me against this disease in my heart.
Freein' my soul.
Population 10 zillion and six
Where signs say, "Welcome to the Star Core Metropolis."
Me, I live on the wired side of town,
Reaching and searching for a space called paradise found.
[Chorus:]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control
Warning me against this disease in my heart.
Freein' my soul.
And it's a common thought
That wired folk can be sold and bought.
That we have no feelings no memories or minds,
That we're bionic strumpets only worth a dime.
To some it's a surprise when I smile.
And when I hold your hand, they say,
"How can a wired thing understand?
Love is too deep; it's too wide to feel
When your soul is a button
And your foot glows in heels."
Program. Program. Reprogram.
One nation, under a microchip.
Neon slaves, electric savages,
Open your hearts. Open your eyes. Your chariot will arrive.
Hey, Anthony Greendown from sector nine. (From sector nine)
With beautiful eyes
I've served you now about thirty-eight times.
Thirty-eight times I've looked in those eyes.
You see me laughing, the love when I hold your hand,
I wanna take you, take you with me to another land.
[Chorus:]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start.
Where there's no war, if my dreams run a little wild,
But if there's no call from joy control.
No call.
Please go with me.
Oh come with me.
I need you.
Let's leave. Let's leave.

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
Took the stop sign down
It was shot up anyhow
One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet
Both police cars came
But I got away
It was a boom town back in '62
Til the coal ran out and a dry came through
When they damned the river where we all used to fish
Population 405 and i'm 840409
And there's a city limit sign layin in the ditch
Run blown over it
Deep in metropolis
Well I found myself in a big high rise with a concrete yard
It ain't safe after dark
Guess this ol' boy drove too far
Met a girl, fell in love, got married
And she's doin may
Say's we're gonna need more space
I say I know just the place
Where we can walk down to the country store
And we won't even have to lock our doors
And you can still get air and water there for free
She says that sounds good to me
It was a boom town back in '62
Til the coal ran out and a dry came through
When they damned the river where we all used to fish
Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more
And there's a city limit sign layin in the ditch
That I need to fix
Back in metropolis
Almost in metropolis
Comin up on metropolis

Here come the hounds
You'd better turn and fight, no place to hide
Ripped up inside
Tried your best, but you'll get no free ride
No reason to complain
You're just another one, it's all the same
We are all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Watch you fall down
We'll laugh as all your dreams we'll pound
This is the sound
Rock bottom
As you hit the ground
Disillusioned, feeling drained
You're just another one, it's all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
