Erin Mckeown - White City lyrics

Us Among men In the plans of shifting lime We stood beside A foundation of space and time What would you say To a city built in Jackson Park? Electric castles and A promise kept of highest art In our white city We'll stroll together in Streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder Down to the wire Time is running out on our project World, look to us Find a model of what's not thought yet In our white city We'll stroll together In streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder How beautiful is beauty When it's only temporary A decade a century stands still In the white city of our will Raise and be raised Our hands face up and our faces forward Show us the beauty Show us where we aim our story In our white city We'll stroll together In streets of wax Streets of plaster In our white city White with wonder and Heights of greatness and Nights asunder In our white city Of domes and girders We can fall but The fall wont hurt us
