Tori Amos
Floating City
[Verse 1]
You went away
Why did you leave me?
You know I believed you
Nothing explained
Where are the answers?
I know I need you

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, is your city paved with gold?
Is there hunger?
Do your people grow old?
Do your governments have secrets that they've sold?

[Chorus]
Every night I wait
Take me away to your floating city
By my window at night, I see the lights to your floating city
Come and take me away
I want to play in your floating city, yeah
Floating city, yeah

[Verse 2]
TV turns off any of us that say that we've seen you
Tell me, are we the only planet that can't conceive you?
Will we be like Atlantis long ago?
So sure that we're advanced with what we know
That our spirit never had time to grow
[Chorus]
Every night I wait
Take me away to your floating city
By my window at night, I see the lights to your floating city
Come and take me away, yeah
I want to play in your floating city, yeah
Floating city, yeah, hey

[Bridge]
Is it weak to look for saviors out in space?
Little Earth, she tries so hard to change our ways
Sometimes she must get sick of this place

[Chorus]
Every night I wait
Take me away to your floating city
By my window at night, oh, I see the lights to your floating city
Come and take me away
'Cause I want to play in your floating city, yeah
Floating city

Every night I wait (oh, oh, oh)
Take me away to your floating city (oh, oh, oh, oh)
By my window at night, I see the light to your floating city (I see)
Come and take me away
'Cause I want to play in your floating city, yeah
Floating city, yeah
Oh, come around
