Metropolis

歌詞

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow One night I ran right through it, in my Chevrolet Both police cars came, but I got away It was a boom town back in Â'62 Till the coal ran out and the drought came though And they dammed the river that we all use to fish Population 405 and I made it 404 one night Left the city limit sign laying in the ditch Run plum over it Leaving Metropolis Well I found myself in a big high rise with a concrete yard Ain't safe after dark, guess this old boy drove too far Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place Where we can walk down to the country store and we won't even have to lock our door And we can still get air and water there for free She said, Â"That sounds good to me.Â" It was a boom town back in Â'62 Till the coal ran out and the drought came though And they dammed the river that we all use to fish Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be three more And there's a city limit sign laying in the ditch That I need to fix Back in Metropolis Almost in Metropolis Coming up on Metropolis I'm back in Metropolis
