City of Empires Lyrics by Close to Good

Volume II

2013

[Verse 1]
There's a fire in the sky from the jungle below
Man them lights how they glow
And turn the night into day
Down on the street all the girls and the boys
Gearin' up with their toys
Are gettin' ready to play
But as the midnight rushes past on that last floor
Out the tallest peak
High above
Some of us we take the charm
But never hope to fall in love with these empires
[Verse 2]
Now there's a danger in chasin' a dream
When there's no room to run and you're accident prone
Millions of people in every direction
But somehow I still feel alone
Are you a sole pioneer trying to find it out here
Or just another obstacle in my way?
And despite the facts and panic attacks
It's feelin' like the world is mine
All mine
All mine!
[Chorus]
If you ever get the feeling the floor becomes the ceiling
You fall into the sky but there's no one around
Just look up, but don't look down for that empire sound
It's a town of rising stars, let's disappear into the crowd
If you ever have to choose between the streets and avenues
You find yourself out there with nothing left to lose
Where it's anybody's game
In the streets we are the same
It's a town of rising flames
Let's disappear into the crowd
[Chorus]
If you ever get the feeling the floor's become the ceiling
You fall into the sky but there's no one around
Just look up, but don't look down for that empire city sound
It's a town of rising stars, let's disappear
If you ever have to choose the streets or avenues
You've got everything to lose and you'll find me
Well it's anybody's game
In the streets we are the same
It's a town of rising flames
Let's disappear into the crowd
Into the crowd
