Metropolis Lyrics

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 '62

Til the coal ran out and a dry came through

When they damned the river where we all used to fish

Population 405 and I'm 840409

And there's a city limit sign layin in the ditch

Run blown over it

Deep in metropolis

Well I found myself in a big high rise with a concrete yard

It ain't safe after dark

Guess this ol' boy drove too far

Met a girl, fell in love, got married

And she's doin may

Say's we're gonna need more space

I say I know just the place

Where we can walk down to the country store

And we won't even have to lock our doors

And you can still get air and water there for free

She says that sounds good to me

It was a boom town back in '62

Til the coal ran out and a dry came through

When they damned the river where we all used to fish

Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more

And there's a city limit sign layin in the ditch

That I need to fix

Back in metropolis

Almost in metropolis

Comin up on metropolis

I'm back in metroposis
