[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
There's a place I wanna go
’Cause my ma and pa, they fight at home
And though my feet may never grace the sand
It helps to give me hope
Where the waters flow superluminally
And where tachyons light heavenly
Where Chang'e plays her superstrings
They call it M.C.
[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie]
What would it mean to be a beam traveling like lightning?
Across cosmic ravine and to the city I have seen
In the nazar of my eye, the skyline
At once dead and alive
To see that picture in my mind
Pull focus on the lens of time
[Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Waves crashing down like a lion pride roar
Beyond the break, a heavenly haven shimmers in the open water
The fortune teller never predicted this in her crystal ball
Is that a city drifting from afar or a reflection mirage?
[Verse 4: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
In the mirror ripples, I get lost
Wondering 'bout my ma and pa and the little town where I’m from
If only I could swim or sail across
To the Mirage City where my prayers are answered by the Lord
There's a place I wanna go
’Cause my ma and pa, they fight at home
And though my feet may never grace the sand
It helps to give me hope
Where the waters flow superluminally
And where tachyons light heavenly
Where Chang'e plays her superstrings
They call it M.C.
