This City Is Contagious

The word is out; this town can hardly breathe
When air is filled with dust and dying dreams
Attaching wings to all the sights
We’re making sure these buildings fly
We worked too hard to leave without a fight

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We’ll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We’ve got everything we need
So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it’s all we’ll ever need

The word is out; this town, it never sleeps
A feeding ground for those who still believe
Kissing curbs to bide our time
On this last night to feel alive
We will never leave this place behind

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We’ll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We’ve got everything we need
So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it’s all we’ll ever need

Make us; this city’s contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us; it’ll only save us
Stronger than we came up
We are leaving it all
(x2)

Hate us; it’ll only save us
(Right now, this town is for the taking)
Stronger than we came up
(We’ll bring neon to its knees)
We are leaving it all
(Our time to shine beyond the pavement)
We’ve got everything we need

Right now, this town is for the taking
We’ll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We’ve got everything we need
So turn the music up; you’re hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it’s all we’ll ever need
