The Unreal City
Nightfall on
the metropolis
Untold millions head
homeward
Tired from the day's exertions
They slow down and prepare for sleep
But the "night people"
are just starting out
They will fill the bars and dancehalls tonight
while the commuters sleep
In this "unreal" city
there are night trippers and
day trippers
In countless bars wine and beer are poured
In countless homes lights go out
Darkness covers the metropolis
The fate of the city denizens
is determined by how they react to mass culture
One million dreams in this "unreal" city
Some will be shattered
Some will come to fruition
The dice are rolled
and the dye is cast
