Little planetary girl
Made of metal from the air
She watches poison quietly float
To the ground where she walks barefoot

Loud steel factory town
It's home to the most beautiful sunsets around
Over a river and a chain of rocks
There's a city separated by polluted blocks

She's a bright green wide-eyed dreamer
She has a mind that only sees the future
Skyscrapers are kissing stars in the distance
While she has visions of a different life between cigarettes

We all know change is only a bridge away
It's twenty miles to a boarding airplane
But these hallucinations are soaked in a sulfuric stench
And screeching trains clog all the exits

Jaded little starlit girl
Behind the Arch awaits the whole world
Don't let this home become another bad habit
The city is calling from behind the granite
