《Metropolis(Arlequim Desconhecido)(LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Metropolis (Arlequim Desconhecido) (LP Version) - The Manhattan Transfer

[00:00:11] Once there was light perfectly white far as the eye could wander

[00:00:25] Once there was time morning and night

[00:00:31] Once there was sky over yonder

[00:01:13] The day begins metropolis lies sleeping like a drunken soldier

[00:01:21] Behind the wheel you come alive and down into its heart you motor

[00:01:28] Atop the rise metropolis defender of the high and mighty

[00:01:35] At every turn the homeless wait reminding you of all that might be

[00:01:46] Hurry now there is somebody there to meet you

[00:01:54] Office girls sweet and innocent poised to greet you

[00:02:01] Through the glass fifty stories below you

[00:02:05] There's a place I've been meaning to show you

[00:02:08] Full of sights that are certain to blow you away

[00:02:16] Beneath the haze metropolis awakens with a hiss and rumble

[00:02:23] You'll hear a knock don't hesitate they mustn't ever see you stumble

[00:02:31] You'll never last down on the street where staying on your toes ain't ballet

[00:02:38] It's getting by or getting beat from curtain to the grand finale

[00:02:49] In the air there is music and sounds of laughter

[00:02:56] For the moment it's happily ever after

[00:03:04] Through the glass fifty stories below you

[00:03:07] In the shadows where nobody knows you

[00:03:11] There's a stranger who's dying to show you the way

[00:03:19] Now entering metropolis creation of a world gone crazy

[00:03:26] The alleyway the resting place still echo from the souls trapped under

[00:03:33] You lock the doors step on the gas and push until it goes no faster

[00:03:41] You close your eyes and leave behind metropolis lord and master
