Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I go walking through the city at night I see the trash is piling up against the sides of the street Of the streets when it's day where all the bodies collide I like to think about this place like it's a dream A dream I had when I was watching TV When I was 5, when I was 10, now I'm inside it, here I am On these streets, with these dreams On this island, and I'm staying till [Chorus] Somebody kills the lights Till somebody kills the lights Till somebody kills the lights Up on the old White Way I'm gonna stay and survive [Post-Chorus] (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) [Verse 2] It's rough sometimes but I am here despite the wars I fight the ones inside, the rest of them are yours I'm alive, I'm alive, and I am going to survive I like to think about this place like I'm not here Sometimes it's all so overwhelming but let me make this clear It's a dream so it's partially mine You try to wreck it with your wrecking machine, I'll cut the wires Those gals upstairs on Broadway reading lines are okay While there's still neon in the sign, they're gonna stay until [Chorus] Somebody kills the lights Till somebody kills the lights Till somebody kills the lights Up on the old White Way The great lady is littering the old White Way And this dream is mine, and it's going to survive I'm alive, I'm alive, you're fucking fired [Post-Chorus] (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) (Kill the lights) [Reprise/Hidden Track] (Street fight tonight) (Street fight) Oh my God, I'm in Chinatown, looking for my Wookie (Street fight) Today just ain't my day, bad luck fortune cookie Big trouble in Little China, lookout, backflip, yeah someone's behind you Bad luck, Mr. Fortune Cookie, the cookie's wrong, oh fuck, oh God (Street fight) Look at my costume it's covering my face (Tonight) Camel toe black, sticky shoes versus cop's mace (Street fight tonight) (Street fight tonight) Street fight, baby
