Lyrics:

Why don't we go out tonight? And make everything all right
Down to the local bars, catch a glimpse of some rising stars

I don't know what to believe, finding it hard to breathe
And it's gotten to the point I need a reprieve
I may not know much but at least I know this
The city is in need of a kiss, Metropolis, Metropolis
Longing for other times, fonder of distant memories

Let's take in a show tonight and dine by candlelight
Pretend that its yesterday, now it seems so far away

I don't know what to expect, what to take or reject
So I'm longing for the time when we can reflect
And admit there were days before all of this
Before the city was in need of a kiss, Metropolis, Metropolis
Longing for other times, fonder of distant memories

Let's take on the town tonight, I've heard of a new playwright
He's taking the town by storm; he's a rebel and won't conform

They say that the story is strong, and at one point there's a song
And for some reason everybody just sings along
The title is strange it goes something like this

The city is in need of a kiss
Metropolis, Metropolis
