What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
2
And for sixty days I knew no other road
3
And through the maelstrom, we turned in time with the kick drum
4
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on the coast
5
And in this place there stands a gate
6
That leads to the heart of the city
7
And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears
8
In this broken mirror of a city
9
Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
10
Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
11
And I remember feeling alright
12
And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds
13
And it smelled of a faded empire
14
It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel
15
And the mayor's just a gun for hire
16
Listen to the streets
17
There's a heartbeat missing in the city
18
Listen to the sound
19
There's a time bomb ticking in the city
20
I've heard the song, the morning sings
21
Outside the gate is everything
22
"Let in the light, let in the light"
23
Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history
24
She has the key, she has the key
25
Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
26
Let in the light, let in the light
27
Waking up from a dream
28
Where I was the stone and you were the stream
29
And Chemical City isn't all that you need
30
But it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
31
Listen to the streets
32
There's a heartbeat missing in the city
33
Listen to the sound
34
There's a time bomb ticking in the city
35
Let in the light, let in the light
36
I said this place is an unnatural disaster
37
And I'm a visitor here so I asked her
38
"Where are the trees, where are the trees?"
39
And she said, "Free yourself from history
40
That is the key, that is the key"
41
Sweet sunlight but I can see it in my mind's eye
42
I see the light, I see the light
43
The gate is gone now, you better run
44
The gate is gone now, you better run
45
The gate is gone now, you better run
46
The gate is gone now, you better run
47
Can you feel it?
48
There's a heartbeat missing in the city
49
Yeah, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
50
When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity
51
There's a heartbeat missing
52
The gate is gone so you better run
53
You better run, run, run, run
54
You better run, run, run, run
55
You better run
