| 5−4-3−2-1 Lets start a fire.
|
| We’ll burn this town from inside out.
|
| Till no ones left alive.
|
| And you can’t feel the rhythm of your steps when you hit the street.
|
| The city seems so far away from here, when you’re counting every step.
|
| 5−4-3−2 what are you waiting for?
|
| The train is catching up, keep on running don’t look back.
|
| Cause it’s 10−9-8−7 everybody’s coming to burn this city, burn this city down
|
| tonight.
|
| Leave it all behind.
|
| All his life he lived in this same house.
|
| Same white fence surrounding him, he swore he would get out.
|
| But he can’t cause his foot got caught in between the rails.
|
| And all his friends were up ahead
|
| They can’t hear him yelling, yelling for some help.
|
| And it’s much too late to call the doctor now.
|
| This town is full of sympathies; |
| we’re drowning in it all.
|
| 5−4-3−2 What are you waiting for?
|
| The train is catching up, keep on running don’t look back.
|
| Cause it’s 10−9-8−7 everybody’s coming to burn this city, burn this city down
|
| tonight.
|
| Leave it all behind.
|
| Is that the sound of the gate coming down? |
| No flashing lights, no warning?
|
| When we press our ears to the ground we feel the shake.
|
| But it’s under the skin, so we wilt like violets.
|
| Can’t get up, to put the petals in their place.
|
| 5−4-3−2 What are you waiting for?
|
| Burn this city, burn this city tonight. |
