The word is out; this town can hardly breathe When air is filled with dust and dying dreams Attaching wings to all the sights We’re making sure these buildings fly We worked too hard to leave without a fight
Go ahead and tell everyone you know We stole the show
Right now, this town is for the taking We’ll bring neon to its knees Our time to shine beyond the pavement We’ve got everything we need So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound Right now, this town is for the taking And it’s all we’ll ever need
The word is out; this town, it never sleeps A feeding ground for those who still believe Kissing curbs to bide our time On this last night to feel alive We will never leave this place behind
Go ahead and tell everyone you know We stole the show
Right now, this town is for the taking We’ll bring neon to its knees Our time to shine beyond the pavement We’ve got everything we need So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound Right now, this town is for the taking And it’s all we’ll ever need
Make us; this city’s contagious Caught inside its pages We are leaving it all Hate us; it’ll only save us Stronger than we came up We are leaving it all (x2)
Hate us; it’ll only save us (Right now, this town is for the taking) Stronger than we came up (We’ll bring neon to its knees) We are leaving it all (Our time to shine beyond the pavement) We’ve got everything we need
Right now, this town is for the taking We’ll bring neon to its knees Our time to shine beyond the pavement We’ve got everything we need So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound Right now, this town is for the taking And it’s all we’ll ever need
