Hyperfantasia - Victoria

Flying through the city with the world at my feet
Through the glassy spires of a dystopian dream
Sirens howling through the traffic below
A slow train coming to take me home
I couldn't get to sleep last night
Restless and turning with you on my mind
I whispered your name to the skies above
To the spirits that guide our endeavours of love

Victoria! Victoria! Victoria! Victoria!
Take me away from this dirty old town
Take me far, far underground
Take me to a place only you can go
Take me to a place only you can know
I've lived too long in this greedy world
Seen too much for this mind to hold
With all of my heart I hold onto you
Take me far away

Redbrick city full of anger and greed
It's dog eat dog on the feral streets
Still dizzy sick from the groundhog grind
That gives you just enough for hollow life
The propaganda on the screens, the political lies
That promise a megalopolitan paradise
While immigrants sleep under a plastic sheet
Hungry and frozen in the land of the free

Victoria! Victoria! Victoria! Victoria!
Take me away from this dirty old town
Take me far, far underground
Take me to a place only you can go
Take me to a place only you can know
I've lived too long in this greedy world
Seen too much for this mind to hold
With all of my heart I hold onto you
Take me far away

What do you say? Let's get out of this place
From the metropolitan cages and the urban grey
From the glassy desert and concrete sea
From the yellowbrick road and keynesian dream
Because the socialite life isn't what it seems
The champagne, suits and limousines
You just keep going, an unfeeling machine
Void of desire, of hopes and dreams
What you say? Let's get out of this place
To the libertine skies and the drunken sea
There's more sadness under these city lights
than you ever want to see

Victoria! Victoria! Victoria! Victoria!
Take me away from this dirty old town
Take me far, far underground
Take me to a place only you can go
Take me to a place only you can know
I've lived too long in this greedy world
Seen too much for this mind to hold
With all of my heart I hold onto you
Take me far away
