[Verse 1]

From where wheat is, from where breezes

Find kids to frustrate

On all horizons, all your life, it looms

Ecstatic night in the city of moons

[Chorus 1]

Metropolis won't slow to welcome you

Swathe yourself in software, see machinations move

Good strut and tie, splinter below the roof

A church collapsing proudly beneath a thousand dunes

Building your life may topple all your dreams

But if his wristwatch finds your cheekbone and his schedule is free

I let the fulcrum buckle under me

Deny my inhibitions and find modernity

[Verse 2]

From sunrise of worried hooves

And soot mixed with sweat

Seek a moonrise of lighted rooms

And a developing wealth of men

[Interlude]

Are you with the city yet? I bet I'm with the city yet

I think I'm with the city yet, are you with the city yet?

Are you with the city yet? I bet I'm with the city yet

(It beckons, it beckons)

Are you with the city yet?

Are you with the city yet? I bet I'm with the city yet

(It beckons, it beckons)

I think I'm with the city yet, are you with the city yet?

(I beckon, I bet)

Are you with the city yet? I bet I'm with the city

(It beckons, it be...)

[Chorus 1]

Metropolis won't slow to welcome you

Swathe yourself in software, see machinations move

Good strut and tie, splinter below the roof

A church collapsing proudly beneath a thousand dunes

Building your life may topple all your dreams

But if his wristwatch finds your cheekbone and his schedule is free

I let the fulcrum buckle under me

Deny my inhibitions and find modernity

[Chorus 2]

Thrust into dissonance and urgency

I always knew this was the life for me

I let the fulcrum buckle underneath

Deny my inhibitions and find modernity
