The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way Fdown in the valley tonight
ThEbere's a Fman in the shadows with a Amgun in his eye
And a Bbblade shining oh so bright
There's Fevil in the air and there's Cthunder in the sky
And a Dmkiller's on the bloodCshot Bbstreets
Oh and Fdown in the tunnel where the Cdeadly are rising
Oh I Dmswear I saw a young boy
Bb/DDown in the gutter, he was starting to foam in the CheaBb/CtC

Oh BbBaby, you're the only thing in Cthis whole world
That's Fpure and good and Bbright
And wherever you are and wherCever you go
There's Bbalways gonna Cbe some Flight
But I Bbgotta get out
I gotta Cbreak it out now
BeDmfore the final crack of Bbdawn
So we Fgotta make the most of our Cone night together
When it's Bbover you know
We'll both be so alConBb/CeC

[Verse 2]
I'm Fgonna hit the highway like a Bbbattering ram
On a Fsilver black phantom bike
When the Fmetal is hot and the Amengine is hungry
And we're Bball about to see the light
FNothing ever grows in this Crotting old hole and
DmEverything is stunted and Bblost
And Fnothing really rocks
And Cnothing really rolls
And Bbnothing's ever Cworth the Fcost
And I Bbknow that I'm Cdamned if I Fnever get out
And Bbmaybe I'm Cdamned if I dFo
