Prague

your castle looks over the city
a king's daughter prophesied
you're the city i came to see

you're a temple of God
you're a synagogue
a cathedral in progress
you're Prague
the city i came to see

you're a house of tea
you're beer-gardening
you're a speakeasy
the city i came to see

i sit outside of you
take in your beautiful view
and know your central sites
like i'm on the inside of the city
the city i came to see

you're a river bridge
crossed by music and legend
love and poverty
you're the city i came to see

you're a cemetery so crowded
you must give up your bones
they'll dance in the streets of the city
the city i came to see

there's a metronome
keeping your time forever and slow
as the angels look on
the city i came to see
