Karaoké A Trick of the Tail Genesis

Bored of the life in the city of gold he'd left and let nobody know

Gone were the towers he had known from a child along with a dream of a life

He traveled the wide open road

The blinkered arcade

In search of another to share in his life

But nowhere

Everyone looked so strange to him

They got no horns and they got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold 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

The beast that can talk

More like a freak or publicity stunt

Oh oh ho no ho ho ho

They got no horns and they got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold that lies in the deep distance

He cried and broke down the door of the cage and marched on out

He grabbed the creature by the scruff of his neck pointing out

There beyond the bounds of your weak imagination

Lie the noble towers of my city bright and gold

Let me take you there and show you a living story

Let me show you others such as me

Why did I ever leave

They got no horns and they got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in the 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 that maybe we saw a spire of gold

No a trick of the eye that's all

But the beast was gone and a voice was heard

They got no horns and they got no tail

They don't even know of our existence

Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold that lies in the deep distance
