Paroles: Adrian Belew. May 1, 1990.

I lived inside a tear
Time magnified my fear
That the world around me
Was only getting more severe

On May 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And I, I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be

I didn't know at the time
My heart was on the line
But the world was turning
And suddenly the sun was shining

On May 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And I, I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun
A city by the sun
In a city by the sun

Maybe when you saw me then
You thought I had the world at my feet
Maybe when you looked again
You saw how I was empty

In a city by the sun
In a city by the sun

On May 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And I, I saw the stars align
And I knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun
In a city by the sun
