I would be someone who roamed the world
And when the time was ready and so was I
get out of here onto the streets
Who'll make everything better, who'll make everything better.
The life that I was living, the great outdoors
Stars up above me everynight, as I lay down my head
Who'll make everything better, who'll make everything better.

Mr. Andrews - In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On desert sands, from mountains of stone

Screaming one man's ecstasy!

Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city...
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection

At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering.
