White City Lyrics - The Flat Earth - Thomas Dolby

Keith was the sole inhabitant 

Keith was the sole inhabitant 

Keith woke beside the fountain 

From his dreams of china mountains 

Far from the clatter of these autobanks 

That keep chucking up money! 

It turned into the kind of joke 

That Keith feels isn't funny 

White City 

White City 

Keith talked in alphanumerals 

Keith talked in alphanumerals 

Keith built a drug cathedral 

Shape of an octahedron 

Where he could hide from young Orwellians 

Who would trample their brothers! 

A thin white powder film on everything 

But soot is the colour of 

The White City 

White City 

White City 

So - are you happy 

With this vision you've created 

Should have known you'd never rest 

Til we're all incinerated 

And you know you are the best.
