This City Is Contagious

The word is out
This town can hardly breathe
The air is filled with dust
And dying dreams
Attaching wings
Two on the sides
We're making sure these buildings fall
We've worked too hard
To leave without a fight
Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We'll start a show
Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine
Lay on the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
Gonna carry more than sound
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need
The world is out
This town that never sleeps
Fading grounds
? that still believe
Kissing cards 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'll start a show
Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine
Lay on the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
Gonna carry 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
Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
(Right now this town is for the taking)
It'll only save us
(We'll bring neon to its knees)
Stronger than we came up
(Our time to shine; lay on the pavement)
We are leaving it all
(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
Lay on the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
(So turn the music up)
Gonna carry more than sound
(Carry more than sound)
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need
