It was the last day of summer It was the first of a new romance He walked into her on the corner She said, I don't dance He said, baby let me teach you She said, ok, when? He said, how can I reach you baby? I'd really like to see you again He picked her up on a friday night He took her for a bite to eat His heart was beating and his hands were shaking She thought he was sweet And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek And he walked her home and he kissed her He was walking on air all week Well, they couldn't stand to be apart They couldn't leave one another alone Her mama used to say, It's getting late sweetheart It's time that boy went home!

Where did we go wrong? Will there be a future to look back from? Feels like God is long gone From the creatures who created him We could give it all away This machinery of violence Still we gather for a feast of praise To the devouring mouth of war This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Let's run all the red lights Make no promises Live like young lovers Who've never known heartache Between the dark and dawn Kings are killing people in the streets Their ghosts are left to walk on Through the nightmares of these bitter men Golden towers climb towards the sky A sparkling palace of sin (Palace of sin) And still we act so surprised (So surprised) That we are so hollow (So hollow) This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Let's run all the red lights Make no promises Live like young lovers Who've never known heartache, known heartache Standing on your own While you struggle to survive Left you standing all alone While you struggle to survive This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Fade away Fade away

Well, look here, is that a teardrop In the corner of your pane? Now, don't you try to tell me that it's rain She went away and left us all alone The way she planned Guess we'll have to learn to get along Without her if we can Hello, ceiling (hello, hello) I'm gonna stare at you awhile You know I can't sleep So won't you bear with me awhile We must all stick together or else I'll lose my mind I've got a feelin' She'll be gone a long, long time
