Pull Me Under / Metropolis (Live in Tokyo 2010)

I. Pull Me Under

[Instrumental Intro]

[Spoken: James LaBrie]

"Alright, Tokyo. You with us? Let me hear you sing this song nice and loud, alright? Wanna hear everyone's voices. Here we go!"

[Verse 1]

Lost in the sky

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Arrows fly

Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me

This world is spinning without me and

Every day sends future to past

Every breath leaves me one less to my last

[Verse 2]

Watch the sparrow falling, gives new meaning to it all

If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

I'll take seven lives for one and then my only father's son

As sure as I did ever love him, I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me

The whole world keeps spinning around me

And all life is future to past

Every breath leaves me one less to my last

[Spoken: James LaBrie]

"Alright, Tokyo. Here we go."

[Chorus]

Pull me under, pull me under

Pull me under, I'm not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite

All I can do is to set it right

[Verse 3]

Dust fills my eyes

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Centuries cry

Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me

The whole world is spinning inside of me

Every day sends future to past

Every step brings me closer to my last

[Spoken: James LaBrie]

"Alright, Tokyo. [?]"

[Chorus]

Pull me under, pull me under

Pull me under, I'm not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun

Only until your will is done

II. Metropolis - Part I: "The Miracle and the Sleeper"

[Instrumental Break]

[Spoken: James LaBrie]

"How we doing, Tokyo? Right on, before we move forward here, I just wanna take a little time here. We thank our crew, we've been out here for 14 months. And without their invaluable contributions, none of this would be possible. So thanks, guys. And definitely, thank you and everyone else around the world. Our fans are amazing, die-hard, dedicated. Thank you, everyone. Take care of yourselves, alright."

[Outro]

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, love is the dance of eternity, yeah

[Spoken: James LaBrie]

"[?] Thank you, Tokyo!"

"Thank you, good night! See you next time, Tokyo."
