In Ruins

Well the bonfires are blocking the street tonight,
Well I don't mind
Phones down, but you got a flare
So meet me at the checkpoint,
And you can take me dancing tonight
Looking around the streets tonight,
Everything's in ruins
You look good by siren light,
Baby what you doing
Looking around the streets tonight,
Everything's in ruins
You look good by siren light,
Baby what you doing
There's a monument that they say they'll build,
To the way things were but we can't return
We can slip through the holes and the stories they told
Take a walk through the ash and the acid rain
I don't care if the germs and the books eat our brains
All I want is to see your face again
Looking around the streets tonight,
Everything's in ruins
You look good by siren light,
Baby what you doing
Looking around the streets tonight,
Everything's in ruins
You look good by siren light,
Baby what you doing
