Metropolis

Oh, oh, I can't even take it in
Oh, oh, I can't even take it in
Oh, oh, I left my heart in Metropolis
So far apart
I checked but the coast was clear
I feel like a postcard
I wish you were here
Subway through the dark
Carriage through the park
Taxi down the street
Get out and use my feet
Don't matter much to me
What it is that I do
As long as I'm coming home with you
Oh oh oh
As far as I can see
You're the only one
The only one who can get to me
Like a hijacked plane
Or a runaway train
Or a speeding bullet
There's no stopping this
I left my heart in Metropolis
A thousand miles
Feels like a million years
Like hundreds of postcards
That say I wish you were here
Airplane through the sky
Greyhound racing by
Dirt bike on the beach
Sailboat on the sea
Don't matter much to me
What it is that I do
As long as I'm coming home with you
Oh oh oh
As far as I can see
You're the only one
The only one who can get to me
Like a hijacked plane
Or a runaway train
Or a speeding bullet
There's no stopping this
I left my heart in Metropolis
I left my heart in Metropolis
Like a hijacked plane
Or a runaway train
Or a speeding bullet
There's no stopping this
I left my heart in Metropolis
I left my heart in Metropolis
I left my heart in Metropolis
I left my heart in Metropolis
Oh, oh, I can't even take it in
Oh, oh, I can't even take it in
Oh, oh, I can't even take it in
Oh, oh, I left my heart in Metropolis
