The dinosaurs did a dance
The indians told a story
Now it has come to pass
The Indians had a legend
The Spaniards lived for gold
The white man came and killed them
But they haven't really gone
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on the highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
From germany and Europe
And Southern you. S. A.
They made this little town here
That we live in to this day
The children of the white man
Saw Indians on tv
And heard about the legend
How their city was a dream
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on the highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
The Civil War is over
And World War One and Two
If we can live together
The dream it might come true
Underneath the concrete
The dream is still alive
A hundred million lifetimes
A world that never dies
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on the highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
Here where you are standing The dinosaurs did a dance The indians told a story Now it has come to pass The Indians had a legend The Spaniards lived for gold The white man came and killed them But they haven't really gone We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town From germany and Europe And Southern you. S. A. They made this little town here That we live in to this day The children of the white man Saw Indians on tv And heard about the legend How their city was a dream We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town The Civil War is over And World War One and Two If we can live together The dream it might come true Underneath the concrete The dream is still alive A hundred million lifetimes A world that never dies We live in the city of dreams We drive on the highway of fire Should we awake And find it gone Remember this, our favorite town Explain Request ×
