Stadt

It's so much, so much too much
Advertisements everywhere
So much bread and so much play
Happiness has no name

All streets are busy
Cold images in the hearts
No one can read thoughts
The climate is getting milder

I'm building a city for you
Out of glass and gold and stone
And every street that leads out
Also leads back in
I'm building a city for you and for me

No one knows what they look like anymore
Or what their name is
Everyone is fleeing here
The tears are made of ice

There must be another way
This can't go on
Where do I find support, where do I find shelter
The sky is made of lead here

I don't give answers anymore
To the wrong questions
Time is played away rapidly
And happiness must be chased

I'm building a city for you
Out of glass and gold and stone
And every street that leads out
Also leads back in
I'm building a city for you and for me

I'm building a city for you
Out of glass and gold and stone
And every street that leads out
Also leads back in
I'm building a city for you and for me

A city where there is no fear, only trust
Where we build the walls out of greed and contempt
Where the light settles quickly, the water hangs
Where every dawn and every dream is worth it
And for every gaze through time and space flows into our hearts

I'm building a city for you
Out of glass and gold and stone
And every street that leads out
Also leads back in
I'm building a city for you and for me
I'm building a city for you
Out of glass and gold and stone
And every street that leads out
Also leads back in
I'm building a city for you and for me
