Electric Daylight Gone
The kids have all left town
To start some different lives
It’s no real surprise
It’s been so long since
We sat alone to watch sun rise
And bottled fireflies
And as the sun sinks down
Low against the darkening sky
What’s to become of these empty streets?
Like the fires once that burned my heart someday
They’ll be gone like me
As the darkness lifts
Flames arise into the night
But still you say it’s all right
This city’s bound to burn
Can’t you see its shining light?
This industry’s such a sight
And we were stuck inside
Trying to find one way out
We were never ones to stand this heat
Terrified of burning up inside this town
We’ll be gone to sea
When you said good-bye last night
I knew that you were lying
Just like you’ve done with everyone else
We’re only living here
Cause fire keeps us from dying
Soon we’ll have to care for ourselves
And as the sun sinks down
Low against the darkening sky
What’s to become of these empty streets?
Like the fires that once burn my heart someday
They’ll be gone like me
They’ll be gone like me
They’ll be gone like me
