He'd left and let nobody know

Alone with the dream of a life

He travelled the wide open road

The blinkered arcade

That lies in the deep distance, he cried

And wept as they led him away to a cage
"Beast that can talk", read the sign
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again
But soon they grew bored of their prey
Beast that can talk ?
More like a freak or publicity stunt
Oh, no

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Chord diagramA minorAm I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried

Why did I ever leave ?

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Chord diagramA minorAm I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept

And so we set out with the beast and his horns
And his crazy description of home
After many days journey we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out
We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw
Chord diagramA augmentedA spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Chord diagramA minorAm I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
