Show me the ways, give me the means To pull away the veil of time To find the path from which we strayed To destinations far and wide Electric streets and railway lines A line of stations to guide us home Beneath the metal towers Machines of radiant design Bear silent witness to a golden age Glowing wireless light the night And so we tuned ourselves away To the lonely songs of satellites Voices from distant cities tell Of empires conquered in our minds And heroes of the world to come Take me back before the years Before the colors start to fade Fraction of a grain of time Is all I need so you might understand I would not falter, I wouldn't hesitate The generators never rest Turbines drive the onward march of time Onward and forward, to another day Engines of a forgotten time Electric streets and city lights To the highways that will guide us home Beneath the signal towers Machines of intricate design Bear silent witness to the golden age Glowing wireless light the night And so we tuned ourselves away To the lonely songs of satellites Voices from distant cities tell Of empires conquered in our minds And heroes of the world to come Take me back before the years Before the colors start to fade Before the colors start to fade
