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
