The City does not include a comprehensible chorus. When asked about his immersion into the English language in an interview with Popjustice, Madeon commented, “… That’s partly why in the chorus of ‘The City’ [it’s] just nonsense syllables cut together – it’s how English songs sounded to me when I di...
[Chorus]
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No, no time and space don't exist there
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
There is a place
No time and space
[Chopped up vocals]
[Verse 1]
I can feel the city crumbling around me
Can't seem to find my way
But I can see a bright light calling through the dark night
Hoping I'll find my way
Yeah, I had what I wanted
It went away so fast, fast
Yeah, got to let go
We can dance like there's no tomorrow (So, here we go)
[Chopped up vocals]
[Verse 2]
I can feel the heart beat underneath the concrete
Just like a kick drum plays
Running in a straight line, guided by the streetlights
Pushing the dark away
Yeah, I had what I wanted
It went away so fast, fast
Yeah, I got to let go
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
[Chorus]
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No, no time and space don't exist there
We can dance like there's no tomorrow
There is a place in the distance
A place that I've been dreaming of
No, no time and space
We can dance like there's no tomorrow, oh, oh, oh
[Chopped up vocals]
[Outro]
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
We can dance
