There’s going to be a fight in Highland Park,
If we don’t get inside before it’s dark.
We better catch a bus before the sun goes down.
Another bomb went off at city hall today.
Clouds of rubble scattered everyone away.
Cops in gasmasks couldn’t calm us down.

Put on your Sunday best,
And let’s hit what’s left of town.
Sure it’s dangerous,
But at least at night there’s no one around.
I don’t even care if the cops pick me up tonight.
This city’s on fire but you’ve always looked your best in candle light.

The airport has grounded all the planes,
And the train station’s been shut down for days.
I don’t think that we’re ever getting out of here.
When the sky turns to violent shades of red,
And the thunder starts to roar above my head,
I want to make sure that you are near.

Put on your Sunday best,
And let’s hit what’s left of town.
Sure it’s dangerous,
But at least at night there’s no one around.
I don’t even care if the cops pick me up tonight.
This city’s on fire but you’ve always looked your best in candle light.
