Gone were the towers he had known from a child
Along with a dream of a life
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's all
"They got no horns and they got no tail
And so we set out with the beast and his horns
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
The blinkered arcade
He cried and broke down the door
We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
That lies in the deep distance?
That lies in the deep distance?", he cried and wept
That lies in the deep distance?
Everyone looked so strange to him
They don't even know of our existence
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out
After many days journey, we came to a peak
They don't even know of our existence
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard
They got no horns and they got no tail
More like a freak or publicity stunt, oh oh, no no
And questioned his story again
The creatures, they pushed and they prodded his frame
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
They got no horns and they got no tail
Let me take you there, show you a living story
The beast that can talk
And his crazy description of home
In search of another to share in his life, nowhere
There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out
They got no horns and they got no tail
Beast that can talk, read the sign
He cried and wept as they led him away to a cage
He traveled the wide open road
Of the cage and marched on out
That lies in the deep distance?
Let me show you others such as me, why did I ever leave?
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
They don't even know of our existence
But soon they grew bored of their prey
