On the Horizon Lyrics

And on the horizon the city grows and spreads and rises and overflows

A haven for all men who abhor their fellow man

It's braver for our neighbors while they pick up the slack

And carry the world on their backs

The tree-line dwindles from shore to shore and up sprout competing department stores

It's all we ever may need in a seven minute drive

And all we have to do is decide which one we want to patronize

It's all happening here

It's already happening everywhere

Everywhere we turn and toil

Our hearts in hand and stumble and foil our best made plans

And keep on and continue and take it in our stride

And wait for the damage to subside to our solipsistic pride
