Electric Daylight - Gone lyrics

The kids have all left town To start some different lives It's no real surprise It's been so long since We sat alone to watch sun rise And bottled fireflies And as the sun sinks down Low against the darkening sky What's to become of these empty streets? Like the fires once that burned my heart someday They'll be gone like me As the darkness lifts Flames arise into the night But still you say it's all right This city's bound to burn Can't you see its shining light? This industry's such a sight And we were stuck inside Trying to find one way out We were never ones to stand this heat Terrified of burning up inside this town We'll be gone to sea When you said good-bye last night I knew that you were lying Just like you've done with everyone else We're only living here Cause fire keeps us from dying Soon we'll have to care for ourselves And as the sun sinks down Low against the darkening sky What's to become of these empty streets? Like the fires that once burn my heart someday They'll be gone like me They'll be gone like me They'll be gone like me
