Near where you are standing, the dinosaurs did a dance

The Indians told a story how it has come to pass

The Indians had a legend, the Spaniards lived for gold

White men came and killed them, but they haven't really gone

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on this highway of fire

Should we awake to find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town

From Germany and Europe and southern U.S.A.

They made this little town here that we live in to this day

The children of the white man saw Indians on TV

And heard about the legend, how their city was a dream

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on this highway of fire

Should we awake and find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town

The Civil War is over, and World War I and II

If we can live together, the dream, it might come true

Underneath the concrete, the dream is still alive

A hundred million lifetimes, a world that never dies

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on this highway of fire

Should we awake and find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on this highway of fire

Should we awake and find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town
