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.

They say there's only one tonight

Oh yeah we're gonna make some changes

Those boys are gonna shake their spades tonight

Raise the doubt yeah, re-arranger

So if you think it safe, yeah you think it's fine

well you better think again

because we're coming out

oh yeah we're coming out

we're gonna turn it all upside down

chorus:

Oh yeah we're taking this town

nah nah nah nah

Oh yeah

nah nah nah nah

Oh no we're taking this town

nah nah nah nah

Hmmm yeah,

nah nah nah nah

we're gonna take this town

nah nah nah nah

Oh oh yeah

nah nah nah nah

Well it's a kind of a crazy game

It has no face and it has no name

and it's the sign of the drums, yeah

Cha cha, cha cha cha cha

And I'm here to take this town

get off the street when you hear the sound, yeah

'Cause they're singing the songs, yeah

So you better step aside tonight

we don't have the time for strangers

..for strangers

Nobodys gonna keep us down tonight

As for love, we live in danger

..danger

You know the time is now, the time is right

to get this city straight

If you think it's strange

well that's your problem man

'cause you're just a little late
