Why don’t we go out tonight? And make everything all right Down to the local bars, catch a glimpse of some rising stars
I don’t know what to believe, finding it hard to breathe And it’s gotten to the point I need a reprieve I may not know much but at least I know this The city is in need of a kiss, Metropolis, Metropolis Longing for other times, fonder of distant memories
Let’s take in a show tonight and dine by candlelight Pretend that its yesterday, now it seems so far away
I don’t know what to expect, what to take or reject So I’m longing for the time when we can reflect And admit there were days before all of this Before the city was in need of a kiss, Metropolis, Metropolis Longing for other times, fonder of distant memories
Let’s take on the town tonight, I’ve heard of a new playwright He’s taking the town by storm; he’s a rebel and won’t conform
They say that the story is strong, and at one point there’s a song And for some reason everybody just sings along The title is strange it goes something like this
The city is in need of a kiss Metropolis, Metropolis
