From the recording Let the World Burn
Lyrics
What do you mean
This isn’t the end
We didn’t show up
Just to go home
Five, in the light
We’re always the first on the floor
Five, to midnight
Live like we won’t make it home
Five, tip it light
We’ve still got more drinks in store
I, am so high
But I’m going in for more
Let the world burn
We’ll raise a shot to it
Roll my last dice
If it’s my time, it was lit
Got me upside down
You can let me drown
We were born to die
Give it up
Let’s throw it down
Hands up in the air tonight
Nothing left of this world
But I’m feeling alri-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ight
Hands up if you’re sad tonight
But you don’t care about that
That’s off to the si-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ide
There’s so much left
So much I’ll never fix
Goodbye’s a good start
Read the words on my lips
One time I cared
But now my feelings are mixed
We all have the will
But it’s hard to commit
Let the world burn
We’ll raise a shot to it
Roll my last dice
If it’s my time, it was lit
Got me upside down
You can let me drown
We were born to die
Give it up
Let’s throw it down
Hands up in the air tonight
Nothing left of this world
But I’m feeling alri-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ight
Hands up if you’re sad tonight
But you don’t care about that
That’s off to the si-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ide
Pour some sugar for the soul
Now or never is the mantra
Pockets empty, mind is full
Forgot the world just like they taught you
Ash in the sky
Stars peak through
Hi, I see you
Wave a goodbye
To who I was
Yeah, I knew you
Turning up nightly, facts on facts
Banking it lightly, stacks on lax
Say it once nicely, check the forecast
No angels in the wings
Got to have your own back
Temperature’s up, no stress on sight
Heads down, in the sand that’s right
Got 99 people in the room on your side
You’re the only one left, no time to decide
Hands up in the air tonight
So much love left in this world
Has me feeling alri-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ight
Hands up if you’re sad tonight
But you know someone loves you
They’re right there by your si-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-ide
Tonight is just like all the others
We don’t know when the end will come
But tonight we know we’re here
9-1-1
9-9-9-9-9
What’s your emergency
