The Gate

Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand

And for sixty days I knew no other road

And through the maelstrom, we turned in time with the kick drum

I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on the coast

And in this place there stands a gate

That leads to the heart of the city

And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears

In this broken mirror of a city

Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city

Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye

And I remember feeling alright

And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds

And it smelled of a faded empire

It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel

And the mayor's just a gun for hire

Listen to the streets

There's a heartbeat missing in the city

Listen to the sound

There's a time bomb ticking in the city

I've heard the song, the morning sings

Outside the gate is everything

"Let in the light, let in the light"

Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history

She has the key, she has the key

Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye

Let in the light, let in the light

Waking up from a dream

Where I was the stone and you were the stream

And Chemical City isn't all that you need

But it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key

Listen to the streets

There's a heartbeat missing in the city

Listen to the sound

There's a time bomb ticking in the city

Let in the light, let in the light

I said this place is an unnatural disaster

And I'm a visitor here so I asked her

"Where are the trees, where are the trees?"

And she said, "Free yourself from history

That is the key, that is the key"

Sweet sunlight but I can see it in my mind's eye

I see the light, I see the light

The gate is gone now, you better run

The gate is gone now, you better run

The gate is gone now, you better run

The gate is gone now, you better run

Can you feel it?

There's a heartbeat missing in the city

Yeah, there's a heartbeat missing in the city

When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity

There's a heartbeat missing

The gate is gone so you better run

You better run, run, run, run

You better run, run, run, run

You better run
