talking heads – city of dreams

verse 1 :

right where you are standing

the dinosaurs did a dance

the indians told a story

now it has come to pass

G D
the indians had a legend
A
the spaniards lived for gold
G D
the white man came and killed them
A
but they haven’t really gone

chorus :
D A G
we live in the city of dreams
D A G
we drive on the highway of fire
Em
should we awake
G
and find it gone
A
remember this , our favorite town

verse 2 :
from germany and europe
and southern u . s . A .
they made this little town here
that we live in to this day

the children of the white man
saw indians on tv
and heard about the legend
how their city was a dream

( chorus )

verse 3 :
the civil war is over
and world war one and two
if we can live together
the dream it might come true

underneath the concrete
the dream is still alive
a hundred million lifetimes
a world that never dies

( chorus )
