[00:08.36]Bored of the life on the city of gold
[00:12.47]He'd left and let nobody know.
[00:16.42]Gone were the towers he had known from a child,
[00:20.33]Alone with the dream of a life
[00:24.39]He travelled the wide open road,
[00:27.03]The blinkered arcade,
[00:29.36]In search of another to share in his life.
[00:33.33]Nowhere.
[00:36.52]Everyone looked so strange to him.
[00:40.29]They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[00:44.29]They don't even know of our existence.
[00:47.95]Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[00:51.96]That lies in the deep distance, he cried
[00:56.08]And wept as they led him away to a cage
[00:59.89]Beast that can talk, read the sign.
[01:04.18]The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
[01:08.09]And questioned his story again.
[01:12.04]But soon they grew bored of their prey
[01:15.04]Beast that can talk?
[01:17.16]More like a freak or publicity stunt.
[01:20.97]Oh...
[01:24.15]No.
[01:28.30]They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[01:32.02]They don't even know of our existence.
[01:35.80]Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[01:39.62]That lies in the deep distance, he cried
[01:43.34]And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out.
[01:51.53]He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out:
[01:59.20]There, beyond the bounds of you weak imagination
[02:07.28]Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold.
[02:14.25]Let me take you there, show you a living story
[02:23.02]Let me show you others such as me
[02:28.21]Why did I ever leave?
[02:36.68]They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[02:40.54]They don't even know of our existence
[02:44.22]Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[02:48.35]That lies in the deep distance,
[02:51.14]He cried and wept.
[03:00.00]And so we set out with the best and his horns
[03:04.17]And his crazy description of home.
[03:07.68]After many days journey we came to a peak
[03:12.14]Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out.
[03:16.00]We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
[03:21.07]A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye that's all,
[03:27.73]But the beast was gone and a voice was heard:
[03:31.98]They've got no horns and they've got no tail
[03:35.94]They don't even know of our existence
[03:39.47]Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
[03:43.48]That lies in the deep distance
[03:44.44](Hello friend, welcome home.)
