City Of Lights Lyrics & Chords By Van Dyke Parks

Life is like a journey
On a road that's within
Head says you should stay
But your heart says to begin
So you go
Blanky, Radio, Kirby: But you don't want to go
Toaster: Any life worth living
Isn't life just filled with ease
You just stay forgiving
Through the forest and the trees
Toaster, Lampy: And you'll go
Just where you want to go
Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Blanky: Time fly by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land
Lampy, Radio: And I'd be
Satisfied
Just to be
Not denied
Toaster, Lampy, Radio: To reside
With some pride
Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Blanky: While I ride
To the City
The City of Light!
Lampy: Light shines like a diamond
In the City at night
Radio: When that diamond shines
You know that everything's all right
Kirby: But you know
We got a way to go
Blanky: Let us meet the master
We don't wanna make him wait
Lampy, Blanky:
You just keep a-knockin'
Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Blanky: He will open up the gate
To the City of Light
Lampy: Master is a man with a plan I can understand
Toaster: Master is a man of great reflection
Radio: Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
Blanky: Master is the man of our affection
All: Time side by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land
Lampy, Radio: And I'd be
Satisfied
Just to be
Not denied
All: To reside
With some pride
While I ride
To the City
The City of Light!
