Testo Six Cities Supersystem
(Chorus)
The forest has trees the mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak but forgets
Each morning when waking
There was once a city that was made of steel
All the Buildings were shiny and clean
The people wore the same clothes and ate all the same meals
They knew black and white and little in between
There was once a city that was mad of glass
All the buildings you could see right through
Each and every person there had opinions there
And each and every one of them was true
There was once a city made of plastic
All the buildings were flimsy and sheik
The smoke from a fire there made everybody sick
So they all left town with the few things they could keep
There was once a city made of marble
All the buildings were beautiful and cold
The people had solutions for anything that fell
So they spent their lives being helpful and alone
(Chorus)
The forest has trees the mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak but forgets
Each morning when waking from sleep
There was once a city that was made of stone
All the buildings were smooth and gray
The people living there all felt trapped and cold
Even on a pretty warm spring day
There was once a city that was made of wood
All the buildings were sensible and sound
Everyone there did what they wanted while they knew they could
Because one day a storm would knock their buildings down
(Chorus)
The forest has trees the mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a language everyone knows how to speak but forgets
Each morning when waking
The forest has trees the mountain has snow on its peak
And the earth has secrets the ocean helps keep
Like a word explaining how all this should be thatâs forgotten
The moment we first learn to speak
