[Verse]
GOur time is ever on the road, the ride is in what we Cmake
I walked a Gyear to hear a howl in this give and Ctake
But hear it this Dway, hear it this Cway, alrightG.

The Gwar is our hearts and blood is in the land we Clove
We keep Gbreaking our backs, hoping that it gives Cenough
Oh but what do you Dneed, what do you Cneed
[Verse]
Oh man, there's Gladders to the sky, building up a Chigh rise
Oh man we Gwon't last long but we're giving it our Cbest try
Don't you know you're Dalive, you know you're Calive
None of us Dsave the day before it's overG  
[Verse]
GTonight, I'm in love with everybody on the city buCs
I feel the Gpush and pull, keep saying that it doesn't mean Cmuch.
Oh but what do you Dsee, what do you sCee

And everyGbody on the street is singing like it's CSunday
But we Gkeep inside and our looks stay Cat bay.

And wGe don't know what's left, but we feel it's coming back Csoon,
So we're Gstanding in the street staring at a blood-red mooCn
We are the Dtide, we are the tidCe,
And none of us Dsave the day before it's Gover
