lyrics

city on the river in a drunken dream
and i come from the sea with my sisters and my brothers
slick with the grease from the bellies of machines
and they lift us up and i just don't think about it

the golden rails and the wind and water
the great walled city and our sons and our daughters
wed to the work and it isn't any bother
we sleep on our feet and i just don't think about it

come mother river in the shade of the trees
singing down the avenues the song of the machinery
call along the water, it goes into the sea
turning out the rhythm of the coming of the century

i am the hand i am the power
i am the company, i carry it with me
i turn it over in my head for hours
i take the wheel and turn the world around it
