Supersystem - Six Cities Lyrics

Send "Six Cities" ringtones to your cell

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 steel
All the buildings were shining 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 made of glass
All the buildings you could see right through
Each and every person there had opinions and ideas
And each and every one of them was true

There was once a city made of plastic
All the buildings were flimsy and cheap
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 failed
So they spent their lives being helpful and alone

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 drab 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

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 things should be
That's forgotten the moment we first learn to speak
