He cried and wept as they led him away to a cage
That lies in the deep distance?
They got no horns and they got no tail
Gone were the towers he had known from a child
Let me take you there, show you a living story
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?", he cried and wept

They got no horns and they got no tail

And questioned his story again
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?
(Hello friend, welcome home)
After many days journey, we came to a peak

They don't even know of our existence
They don't even know of our existence

We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out
But soon they grew bored of their prey

He cried and broke down the door
The beast that can talk
In search of another to share in his life, nowhere

They don't even know of our existence
The blinkered arcade
Let me show you others such as me, why did I ever leave?
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
More like a freak or publicity stunt, oh oh, no no

And his crazy description of home
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
Of the cage and marched on out
"They got no horns and they got no tail
And so we set out with the beast and his horns
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold
They don't even know of our existence

But the beast was gone and a voice was heard
He traveled the wide open road
They got no horns and they got no tail
Everyone looked so strange to him
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's all
That lies in the deep distance?
The creatures, they pushed and they prodded his frame
Beast that can talk, read the sign
Along with a dream of a life
