Metropolis

[Verse 1] A full-grown man, man, casually dressed Caught a thought in a plan in a busy metropolis Four tarot cards held so tightly to his chest As if to protect, as if his life depended on This way it'll work, some of them more adventurous Some other place, some other place that I forget As if the world has ever stopped to notice Something so pure, so comical, so tragic [Verse 2] These two little girls, girls in rhythm, more or less Caught up in a twirl, in the miscellaneous But love doesn't call, don't have to be invited I climb through walls as if it never existed The man that you are, the man you were, the man you left Turn into stars, flowing in through the wilderness Burning hard, a memory you can't forget Wherever you are, why'd you ever reveal it? [Verse 3] I know who you are, I know the secrets you protect Alone in your car, the violence you imagine It hurts so hard, a memory you can't forget Wherever you are, why'd you ever concede it? As if, if a god would ever care, and if it did Then nothing unpure has ever complicated And nothing undone is ever done or said by chance And nothing unsure has ever resonated I float through the walls Float through the walls Float through the walls Float through the walls [Verse 4] As if it knows who you are It's changing shape in the dark If it can tell you apart It's gonna take you, take you As if it knows who you are It's changing shape in the dark If it can tell you apart It's gonna break you, break you As if it knows who you are It's changing shape in the dark If it can tell you apart It's gonna take you, take you As if it loves who you are Changing your shape in the dark, your secrets Are drifting with you I know you, I know you
