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 a 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
