The Gate (Edit) - Sam Roberts[00:00:00]
Over land I traveled time and space and quicksand[00:00:13]
And for sixty days I knew no other road[00:00:19]
And through the maelstrom [00:00:25]
Which turned in time with the kick drum[00:00:29]
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast[00:00:32]
And in this place there stands a gate[00:00:38]
That leads to the heart of the city[00:00:41]
And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears[00:00:44]
In this broken mirror of a city[00:00:47]
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city[00:00:51]
Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye[00:00:55]
Yeah I remember feeling alright[00:01:01]
And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire[00:01:03]
It's all concrete and steel we're asleep at the wheel [00:01:12]
And the mayor's just a gun for hire[00:01:16]
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city[00:01:19]
Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city[00:01:26]
I've heard the song the morning sings[00:01:38]
Outside the gate is everything[00:01:41]
Let in the light Let in the light [00:01:44]
Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history[00:01:47]
She has the key she has the key[00:01:52]
Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye[00:01:56]
Let in the light Let in the light [00:02:01]
Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream[00:02:11]
Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that[00:02:23]
You're getting and they've hidden the key[00:02:32]
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city[00:02:37]
Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city[00:02:43]
Let in the light let in the light[00:02:52]
I said this place is an unnatural disaster[00:02:55]
And I'm a visitor here so I asked her:[00:02:58]
Where are the trees where are the trees [00:03:01]
And she said free yourself from history[00:03:06]
That is the key That is the key [00:03:10]
Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye[00:03:13]
I see the light I see the light [00:03:19]
Can you feel it There's a heartbeat missing in the city[00:03:27]
Yeah there's a heartbeat missing in the city[00:03:31]
Where all the fat-cats are hissing at your pity[00:03:35]
There's a heartbeat missing[00:03:38]
The gate is gone so you better run [00:03:39]
You better run run run run [00:03:42]
You better run run run run [00:03:45]
You better run[00:03:48]
