The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kids are roaming through the city
Burnin open fires in the streets
They're running to the river...(??)
They've crossed the line 1000 times
They'll cross it 1000 more
Cuz they don't know what lies below
Stand on your own
While you struggle to survive
Stand on your own
You know that time is not on your side
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
And break our promises
We'll live like lovers
Who've never known heartache
They look to the heavens above for advice on their lives
Searching for god in the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers eyes
With a little less medication
And a little more dedication
I know we'll make this work
Stand on your own
While you struggle to survive
Stand on your own
You know that time is not on your side
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
And break our promises
We'll live like lovers
Who've never...
This is a fire
This is a fire
This is a fire
