Stand at the curbside 
And watch the world go by 
In this town 
No one looks you in the eye 
Where is the place not driven on by time 
Where's the city of dreams 
A city made of light 
Where people laugh more than cry 
Leave their doors open 
Fall in love every day 
Brave hearts get broken
 
This city aims to love 
Regardless of the bruise 
We love and marry 
Any sex or race we choose
 
On the underground 
We all look so worn down 
On the circle line 
Forever going round
 
We love our children 
Not school down 
Open minds 
We learn that happiness is the aim of life
 
Make for this city 
Within our minds 
Make for this city of light 
Within our minds
 
Where's the connection to the heart of living 
Where's the connection to life 
The life we are living is unforgiving 
Less like a flower than a knife
 
Where's the connection to heart living 
Where's the flower of life 
We aren't defined by our work 
And what we own 
If you can find your way here 
You've made it home
 
We love and marry 
Any sex or race we choose 
There's no one here 
Who uses their gods to exclude
 
Make for this city
