  Cities

  Oh oh oh ... Blurring facing evasive evolving
  747 lands I go out strolling
  Pacing lacing up the shoes
  That depict a kind of blues
  Get a paper read the news
  Oh so many cities
  Are going around in my head
  Take me back to where I might belong
  Traipsing trading with strangers and romance
  Learnt about the nights where you live like your last
  chance
  Oh oh oh ... I'm going to rocket with bus across the
  sky
  Gonna catch a train through the sea
  Then steal some fire
  Hold on baby while the stage lights eve
  When the beat ignites us Prometheus is free
  Oh so many cities
  Are going around in my head
  Take us back to where we might belong
  Oh so many people
  Rolled up on these shoulders
  Something give me grace oh darling please
  Blurring facing evasive evolving
  747 lands I go out strolling
  Pacing lacing up the shoes
  That depict a kind of blues
  Get a paper read the news
  She was a fountain in the desert and a tropical sea
  Our caravan stopped temporarily

  Go my dear, get out of here, you can't carry the weight
  any longer to me.
  To me, the one, the one I admit, the one you pained and
  the one you'll never forget. Oh...
  Oh no we are locked in the compound, Na na na, Na na na
  Get out the City's on Lockdown, Na na na, Na na na
  I know we'll get out somehow, Na na na, Na na na
  Get out the City's on lockdown.
  This wont stop, I fear, you burn in my ear
  My eyes my mind and I'm crushed by the weight of theese
  sleepless nights
  So I rely on thoughts wonder why theese feelings you gave
  me insist on staying alive.
  Oh no we are locked in the compound, Na na na, Na na na
  Get out the City's on Lockdown, Na na na, Na na na
  I know we'll get out somehow, Na na na, Na na na
  Get out the City's on lockdown.
  For everything I wanted you came again and again and
  again.

  Cities

  If I want I could move these walls past my door to a better place
  I feel like there's a wind that could catch all my fingers, fly away
  Past towers of iron and cement touching sky over rivers continents wide
  Onto rolling walls with billions inside, augment my view of life, white cliffs isle's east side
  Blue fields of five waving patiently while I slide into new scapes of change
  Because tomorrow I'll be gone
  And all that now surrounds me will keep moving on
  When I look back what will I see
  Will I have learned a lesson, something I believe
  Give me a journey
  Show me all the colors of life
  Give me the distance
  Show me a way to navigate this world
  Give me a journey
  Show me the road that I should take
  There is no reason
  To be stuck in just one place
  Give me the journey
  Paint with the watercolors of life
  Give me the distance
  To walk the image I create
  Give me the journey
  Show me the road that I should take
  There is no reason
  To be stuck in just one place
  Keys unlock the plain to golden gates that lock again a violent bay
  Where will I land and what will fill my eyes - who will I be each time that I arrive
  Blades of grass cutting lines in the dirt and burnt goodbyes I've seen that star it guides my night
  By sea or land, shifting air, how I move I don't care
  Kiss me soft let me go, breathe in me the place you know - I want to know it too (spoken)
  Out of the window there's a scene I seem to have seen each morning
  White circles, red squares, I bet you don't see this everywhere
  Sure I learn and like and am the things that fill this street
  But could you be content knowing each day these moments just repeat
  So a thought, a pass, a plane, a ticket marked with ink by name
  A taxi pull, a plastic tray folded upright till we leave the runway
  Way above the clouds
  Freedom's pure when you don't hold out
  Watch the weight of all you've known
  Pass right under where you've flown
  And all the things that seemed to matter
  Grow much smaller worn and weathered
  Final approach, we're going down
  Prepare to land on foreign ground
  Way above the clouds
  Freedom's pure when you don't hold out
  Watch the weight of all you've known
  Crash and burn somewhere below
  Crash and burn without a sound
  Off the wing it looks the same till clouds give way
  A new domain beckons me to play
  A new song, new life, new ways to fly
  Grab on, hold tight, It's gonna be a wild ride
  I wanna fly far away
  Wanna see a different place
  Where to go, I don't know
  There is so much left to see - so
  I don't know where to go from here
  I don't know where to roam
  What will I see tomorrow
  Where will I sleep tonight
  Who will I meet tomorrow
  And who will I kiss goodbye
  I don't know where to go from here
  Still don't know who I am
  In spite of all my travels
  In spite of all I've seen
  My mind replays the memories
  And you can't take that from me
  But who knows where to go from here
  And who cares where I go, do I have to know
  Where this road's leading, no place to sleep tonight
  The sun just keeps repeating its pattern in the sky
  Give me the journey
  Paint with all the colors of life
  I'll walk the distance
  To live on the canvas that I stain
  With every memory
  Coursing through my veins
  There's just a brush
  And I am the world it paints
  Tell me where to go from here
  Tell me I can stay so I see you tomorrow
  I'll sleep with you tonight
  If I have to go tomorrow
  Then I kiss your lips goodbye
  I don't want to go from here
  And will you understand when you wake up
  And I'm not there in the middle of the night
  These eyes have yet to see what's under all these skies
  Give me the journey
  Pour out the colors of my life
  I see the distance
  In the mirror passing by
  Give me my journey
  In every shade and stride
  There is no reason
  Why our worlds should collide
  All I've seen and all I've come to know has carved me
  With patterns you can trace to realize our differences
  Are not for the better or the worse they simply just are
  Taught in miles, learned by path, leave it on my epitaph
  Embrace each uncomfortable moment then relax
  The news alive and educates he who doesn't wait
  But packs willing to return to the same space
  For the first time
  I am living
  In colors I'm picking
  But you keep on stalling
  What cha gonna be if your never see
  For the first time
  You're given
  A fresh pallet
  You're mixing
  But you can't keep on slipping
  Back into the place that cha cant leave
  I wanna stay in a place
  And I must appreciate
  Where I've been, what I've seen
  Even though they're different things - and
  Now that we've found common ground
  I have a way to understand
  What you are, how you work
  What defines a peoples worth - now
  I close my eyes, fall asleep
  Knowing I fulfilled my dream
  Now it's your time to fly
  See the world with open eyes

  Cities

  Think of London, small city
  Dark, dark in the daytime
  People sleep, sleep in the daytime
  If they want to, if they want to
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I've got it figured out
  I've got it figured out
  There's some good points, some bad points
  But it all works out, I'm just a little freaked out
  Find your city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  I will find a city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  A lot of bridges in Birmingham
  A lot of ghosts and a lot of houses
  Look over there dry ice factory
  Good place to get some thinking done
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I've got it figured out
  I'm the one who got it figured out
  There's some good points, some bad points
  Find your city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  I will find a city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  Did I forget to mention
  Forget to mention Memphis
  Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
  Do I smell, I smell home cooking
  It's only the river, it's only the river
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I'm checkin' 'em out
  I've got it figured out
  I've got it figured out
  There's some good points, some bad points
  Are those things real? Denied
  Find your city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  I will find a city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  I will find a city
  Find yourself a city to live in
  I will find a city

  Cities

  Neon, the city's sun
  Taxis like beetles run, and I see
  Pavements with yellow lines
  Grey walls and big bold signs with darkness
  Up above, all around
  In the sky, on the ground
  This is what, I have found
  Cities, cities
  Here the flowers don't grow
  Here the river's just a sewer
  People who move below
  Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
  Up above, all around
  In the sky, on the ground This is what, I have found
  Cities, cities
  Not for me
  No, no I don't believe you
  It's not the place to be
  No, no I won't believe you
  Here the flowers don't grow
  Here the river's just a sewer People who move below
  Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
  Up above, all around
  In the sky, on the ground
  This is what I have found

  Cities

  Is this where the Interstate ends
  In coastal towns like this?
  Waiting for my world to cave under
  We seem to invent ourselves
  In places left unknown
  If hope could only find me out
  Is this the end of everything we know?
  This is the end of everything I am
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  Broken hearts like promises
  I left my last unknowns
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  'Cause the coldest winters thrive
  The question is, I'm a Holy Ghost
  In the coastal towns of Him
  Although I know a thousand names
  I see my only friend
  I've got the ground
  All I need is ten cents for the pooling
  I feel helpless, sleeping at this, waiting for your return
  Are you ever coming home?
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  Broken hearts like promises
  I left my last unknowns
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  'Cause the coldest winters thrive
  On broken hopes, broken homes
  Does anybody? Do they ever listen?
  Does anybody care at all?
  Do they care at all? Do they care at all? Do they care at all?
  Do you care at all? Do you care at all?
  Is this the end of everything we know?
  This is the end of everything I am
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  Broken hearts, like promises
  I left my last unknowns
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  'Cause the coldest winters thrive
  On broken hopes
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  Broken hearts, like promises
  I left my last unknowns
  Is anybody out there?
  Hello alone!
  Nonetheless, you're right here
  And then we take this home
