Tori Amos - Floating City lyrics

You went away

Why did you leave me

You know I believed you

Nothing explained

Where are the answers

I know I need you

Tell me

Is your city paved with gold

Is there hunger

Do your people grow old

Do your governments

Have secrets that they've sold

Every night I wait

Take me away

To your floating city

By my window at night

I see the lights

To your floating city

Come and take me away

I want to play in your

Floating city yeah

Floating city yeah

T.V. turns off

Any of us that

Say that we've seen you

Tell me are we

The only planet

That can't conceive you

Will we be like Atlantis

Long ago

So assured that we're advanced

With what we know

That our spirit

Never had time to grow

Every night I wait

Take me away

To your floating city

By my window at night

I see the lights

To your floating city

Come and take me away

I want to play in your

Floating city yeah

Floating city yeah

Is it weak to look for

Saviors out in space

Little earth she tries so hard

To change our ways

Sometimes she must get sick

Of this place

Every night I wait

Take me away

To your floating city

By my window at night

I see the lights

To your floating city

Come and take me away

I want to play in your

Floating city yeah

Floating city yeah
