Floating City

Tori Amos

You went away
Why did you leave me
You know I believed you
Nothing explained
Where are the answers
I know I need you
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 

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
Floating city 

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 assured we're advanced
With what we know
That our spirit never had time to grow 

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
