The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No more time and space don't exist there
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
There is a place, no time in space
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I can feel the city crumbling around me
I can't seem to find my way
But I can see a bright light calling through the dark night
Hoping I'll find my way
Yeah I had what I wanted
It went away so fast fast
Yeah I got to let go
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
So here we go
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I can feel the heartbeat underneath the concrete
Just like a kick drum plays
Running in a straight line guided by the street lights
Pushing the dark away
Yeah I had what I wanted
It went away so fast fast
Yeah I got to let go
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No oh time and space don't exist there
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No more time and space
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
Oh oh oh!
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
I got to do all the way
I gotta do, got to do
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
We can dance
