Lyrics

There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is
Back in Metropolis
Circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis
Nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell, they fell down on their knees
And when you broke, they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke, I felt their anger freeze
Back in Metropolis
Circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis
Nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis
Talk about the holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis
The weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
And it's only a day away
We could leave tonight
You could sleep along the way
Dream in black and white
Back in Metropolis
Circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis
Nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
And back in Metropolis
Talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
And back in Metropolis
The weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to?
And back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to?
And back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to?
