Bored with the life
in the city of gold
He'd left and
let nobody know
Gone were the towers
he had known
from a child
Alone with the
dream of a life
He travelled the
wide open road
The blinkered arcade
In search of another
to share in his life
Nowhere
Everyone looked so
strange to him
They've got no horns
and they've got
no tail
They don't even know
of our existence
Am I wrong to believe
in a city of gold
That lies in the
deep distance,
he cried
And wept as they led
him away to a cage
Beast that can talk,
read the sign
The creatures
they pushed and they
prodded his frame
And questioned
his story again
But soon they grew
bored of their prey
The beast that
can talk
More like a freak
or publicity stunt
Oh oh oh
No....
They've got no horns
and they've got no tail
They don't even know
of our existence
Am I wrong to believe
in a city of gold
That lies in the deep
distance, he cried
And broke down the
door of the cage and
marched on out
He grabbed a creature
by the scruff
of his neck,
pointing out
There, beyond the
bounds of your
weak imagination
Lie the noble towers
of my city,
bright and gold
Let me take
you there,
show you
a living story
Let me show you
others such as me
Why did I
ever leave?
They've got no horns
and they've got no tail
They don't even know
of our existence
Am I wrong to
believe in a
city of gold
That lies in the
deep distance,
he cried
And wept
And so we set out
with the best
and his horns
And his crazy
description of home
After many days
journey we came
to a peak
Where the beast
gazed abroad
and cried out
We followed his gaze
and we thought that
maybe we saw
A spire of gold
No, a trick of the
eye
That's all
But the beast was
gone and a voice
was heard
They've got no
horns and they've
got no tail
They don't even
know of our existence
Am I wrong to
believe in a
city of gold
That lies in the
deep distance
