Lyrics

Metropolis

[Verse 1]

Metropolis, the worlds collide

Ain't nobody could be on your side

I don't care, I don't care

[Verse 2]

Metropolis is something new

Ain't nobody got their eye on you

I don't care, it's nowhere

[Verse 3]

Metropolis, the worlds divide

Ain't nobody on the other side

I don't care, I'm not there
