Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail Lyrics

Send "A Trick Of The Tail" ringtone to your cell

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 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 no no

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 a 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 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?
