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

Loud steel factory town
Home to the most beautiful sunsets around
Over a river and a chain of rocks
A city separated by polluted blocks

Bright green wide-eyed dreamer
A mind that only sees the future
Skyscrapers kissing stars in the distance
Visions of a different life between cigarettes

Change is only a bridge away
Fifteen miles to a boarding airplane
Hallucinations soaked in sulfuric stench
Screeching trains clog all the exits

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