Floating Fortress Letra

all tied up in my sheets

I'm tangled up in city streets

the subway map is incomplete

they must want us to trust our feet

a city planner's great defeat

in a game of chess creates this mess



you'd think with all the time we've lost

you'd be eager to make amends



the railways are down

so other routes had to be found

they drove us from the underground

we must adjust now to the sun being 'round

the city planner, yeah, he ran

or he'dve been bounded hand in hand

and set in chains against a wall

buried in all this urban sprawl



you'd think with all the time we've lost

you'd be eager to make amends



they pried the island free

cause we already seemed to be

a floating fortress out at sea

if love or war come down, we'll come about

if you hail, I'll come around

I'm game for all we talked about

if you hail, I'll come around

but we're too weighed down to drop anchor now



you'd think with all the time we've lost

you'd be eager to make amends
