    You went away

    Why did you leave me

    You know I believed you

    Nothing explained

    Where are the answers

    I know I need you



    Tell me

    Is your city paved with gold

    Is there hunger

    Do your people grow old

    Do your governments

    Have secrets that they''ve sold



    Every night I wait

    Take me away

    To your floating city

    By my window at night

    I see the lights

    To your floating city

    Come and take me away

    I want to play in your

    Floating city yeah

    Floating city yeah



    T.V. turns off

    Any of us that

    Say that we''ve seen you

    Tell me are we

    The only planet

    That can''t conceive you



    Will we be like Atlantis

    Long ago

    So assured that we''re advanced

    With what we know

    That our spirit

    Never had time to grow



    Every night I wait

    Take me away

    To your floating city

    By my window at night

    I see the lights

    To your floating city

    Come and take me away

    I want to play in your

    Floating city yeah

    Floating city yeah



    Is it weak to look for

    Saviors out in space

    Little earth she tries so hard

    To change our ways

    Sometimes she must get sick

    Of this place



    Every night I wait

    Take me away

    To your floating city

    By my window at night

    I see the lights

    To your floating city

    Come and take me away

    I want to play in your

    Floating city yeah

    Floating city yeah
