City Of Dreams Lyrics by Talking Heads

City Of Dreams Lyrics

    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 u.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
