Walking on the fields of Elysian
I saw an old man singing softly
Life is funny when you can’t decide
Which way you wanna go
The live oaks shade the way
Though the neon makes you want to stay
Nobody leaves this place
Especially you and your gentle face
But for now, the streets of Elysium
They are calling
Head along and don’t be shy
Bounce around this sprawling city
And in no time baby you’ll be back to fall again
Running down the fields of Elysian
Don’t mind the row of run down shacks
It don’t matter where you are
You’ll always hear the sound of the turning track
The sunlight burns the ground
As the five city flag falls without a sound
So sweet it fills the air with a warm embrace and a gentle face
But for now, the streets of Elysium
They are calling
Head along and don’t be shy
Bounce around this sprawling city
And in no time baby you’ll be back to fall again
Open your eyes and enjoy every sandwich
For you may never know what will appear around the corner
Look to the sky and don’t you mind the heat
Because you know every time that I go down you get a bit higher
