[Chorus]
Future city, keep me moving
Future city, keep me moving
I tell my own reflection, count the towers as they blink
Future city, keep me moving
I can hear the lift cables singing through the sleeping blocks
Future city, keep me moving

[Verse 1]
I left a note inside my jacket: do not trust the weather app
It says the rain is scheduled neatly for the top of every hour
I walk beneath the transit tubes, where courier drones exchange their loads
A thousand windows practice faces for the morning shift
I ask myself, “Are we still going?”
I answer, “We are already there.”

[Chorus]
Future city, keep me moving
Future city, keep me moving
I tell my own reflection, count the towers as they blink
Future city, keep me moving
I can hear the lift cables singing through the sleeping blocks
Future city, keep me moving

[Verse 2]
The vending wall has learned my habits, offers noodles before I ask
I decline; my double takes the packet from the slot
We share one grin, then split at the escalator fork
Above us, rooftop farms rotate their trays toward borrowed heat
I say, “You look like me.”
I say, “That’s the problem.”

[Bridge]
Every floor has its own small weather
Every train arrives with a different version of my name
I keep my hands inside my pockets
I keep the older version folded underneath my tongue
No map
No plan
Just me, on the upper deck, negotiating with my next self
The next self says, “You’re late.”
I say, “I live here.”

[Chorus]
Future city, keep me moving
Future city, keep me moving
I tell my own reflection, count the towers as they blink
Future city, keep me moving
I can hear the lift cables singing through the sleeping blocks
Future city, keep me moving

[Outro]
Future city, keep me moving
I say it once more, just to hear which voice replies
