City

There, smoke turns into serpents in the air
Beware, there's no sanctuary anywhere
On this very spot a great city once stood
It oozed with evil but it felt so good
But I don't know, where did it go?

And here, there's lots of method in the madness, dear
And we're, considering remaining here
On this very house a giant was born
With two angry eyes and one sharp black horn
Well I don't know, how could he grow?

The fountains gush wine, the chimneys spurt flowers
When me and my friends passed the fleeting hours
Well yes and no, where did they go?

Goodbye, there's no reason, there's no alibi
I'll try to write you a letter from the cyclone's eye
On this very day a hundred years before
They opened up the future like it was a door
Well I don't know, where did it go?

The towers stretch up, the spires spiral up
They hammer the biggest gates and beware of God
Well I don't know, where did he go?
