Metropolis of Eden
A city in ruin
But only for the blink of an eye
A pitiful tune
But only for a moment in time
In the long run
We came back to these old streets
When the barriers had all gotten buried at sea
And when these buildings
All turned green
We agreed
It's better than it used to be
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real?
A city in bloom
A city with that adapts to survive
A little more room
For underdogs and misfits to thrive
In the rooftop gardens
The Purple Finches are pecking out the eyes
Of the wild yellow sunflowers
Smiling at vanilla skies
And you and I are finally free
To do the things we like
Be it making art or making out
And stargazing every night
And oh, how sweet would it be
If an Eastern Phoebe nested on the balcony
And oh, how sweet to begin
Seeing life as a gift, not a contest to win
We came back to these old streets
When the barriers had all gotten buried at sea
And when these buildings
All turned green
We agreed
It's better than it used to be
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real? Oh
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real?
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
But only for the blink of an eye
A pitiful tune
But only for a moment in time
In the long run
We came back to these old streets
When the barriers had all gotten buried at sea
And when these buildings
All turned green
We agreed
It's better than it used to be
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real?
A city in bloom
A city with that adapts to survive
A little more room
For underdogs and misfits to thrive
In the rooftop gardens
The Purple Finches are pecking out the eyes
Of the wild yellow sunflowers
Smiling at vanilla skies
And you and I are finally free
To do the things we like
Be it making art or making out
And stargazing every night
And oh, how sweet would it be
If an Eastern Phoebe nested on the balcony
And oh, how sweet to begin
Seeing life as a gift, not a contest to win
We came back to these old streets
When the barriers had all gotten buried at sea
And when these buildings
All turned green
We agreed
It's better than it used to be
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real? Oh
How long has it been
Since we last felt fear of the sun and the wind
And how long will it be till we feel
The Metropolis of Eden we live in is real?
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
We can do the things we like
A city in bloom
