lyrics

The bleachers are all standing empty
There’s a strange silence in the air
Somebody said they'd heard sirens sounding
I was too wasted to care

There's a red coupe on the driveway
Shutters are drawn against the sun
I heard a rumour on the radio
The ending had just begun

Something Wicked this way comes
It's there in a million lies
The tatooed man's been watching the skies
Waiting for the stars to align

My brother was born as a free man
Back in 1965
The last thing he said as he held out his hand
Don’t let them take me alive

The wires are humming in the July heat
Highways are rammed interstate
10 million people are moving
Something tells me it's too late

In my hotel room the shadows are talking
Back and forth in rhyme
I love to listen to the words they use
But you know I'm running out of time

The neon sign's still swinging
Screaming and banging in the night
The tubes are dead no green, yellow or red
No liquid, luminous light.

The roads now empty slick with rain
Stop lights like blood on the street
The night wind stirs the dust in my veins
Can you hear the marching feet
