lyrics

I've got this weird sort of feeling in my gut,
That these lights in the water are attracting me,
To places I don't want to go.
And I know, I've already seen places I don't want to go,
No I don't want to go.

There's neon lights dancing heavily in the distance,
And I've been walking down here for far too long,
I hear the songs of the sirens now.
Atlantis sings me songs from the sirens now.

And I, I've got this feeling I,
Have seen some pretty things, but I've,
Never seen a city like this, a city of glistening lights.

There's a place for me to lay my head and rest,
But I've come so far I'd rather see downtown instead,
I could have anything my mind could desire,
But, this water's putting out all my inner fires.

And I, I've got this feeling I,
Have seen some pretty things, but I've,
Never seen a city like this, a city of glistening,
Lights, I've never been alone like this,
I've never been a victim to bliss,
In an underwater city of neon lights.

Have you ever seen a city light up like this,
Have you ever glided up to roof tops where you could be safe from this,
Whole world.
I felt like I could run this place,
I felt like I could own the world,
But illusions like this, kept my heavy feet grounded to the ocean floor.

And I, I've got this feeling I,
Have seen some pretty things, but I've,
Never seen a city like this, a city of glistening,
Lights, I've never been alone like this,
I've never been a victim to bliss,
In an underwater city of neon lights.
