The Wastelands

The streets are empty
The night’s washed the city clean
But the lights make the shadows
Come out and play
And they say
Come out and play
No curfews will keep us
No curfews will keep us in
When the lights make shadows
Come out and play
We’re out to play
We run through cities
Pass strung out factories
The cities are no longer ours
But the wastelands belong to us
(They're ours to keep)
This is where we’ll spend our last hours
We can see the darkness descending
From our bedroom windows
You flick your lights twice
It’s time
Is there anybody
Is there anybody out there?
Because I’ve seen fires
I’ve seen fires in the distance
You flick your lights twice
It’s time
When dawn breaks
We’ll go up in flames
We’ll turn to dust
Our ashes will fan
First over the wastelands
Then over the cities
The streets are empty
The nights washed the city clean
But the cities are no longer ours
The wastelands belong to us
(They're ours to keep)
The wastelands belong to us
We can see the darkness descending
From our bedroom windows
You flick your lights twice
It’s time
Is there anybody
Is there anybody out there?
Because I’ve seen fires
I’ve seen fires in the distance
Is there anybody
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Because I’ve seen fires in the distance
We were born to come alive tonight
We were born to die tonight
We’ll burn out like roman candles
Wrapped around each other
Is there anybody
Is there anybody out there?
Because I’ve seen fires
I’ve seen fires in the distance
Is there anybody
Is there anybody out there?
