Welcome to a mind of two people. A world of warm night. An oasis of safety and security. This land exists between the remotest forests and the busiest cities. Between the loudest concerts and the quiestest libraries. Between the happiest celebrations and the most melancholy gravesites. Welcome to a bar. Won't you take a seat?
Verse 1
You, me
Living it up
High rise
Taking back all the dreams we had
Before we threw them out.
How about
Just us
Having the best day?
Please don’t
Leave me hanging here
By a thread
Bridge
I wouldn’t spend my time
Any other way
I’ve got just one question
Can you come out to play-yay-yay-yay-yay?
Chorus 1
We’ll take back the city
We’ll take back the town
Gather the red paint we collected
And throw it all around
I want you to feel me
Understand my view
‘Cause I really don’t know what it means
To actually be for you.
Verse 2
If I’m
Mistaken completely
Tell me
So I can prove
To you I am not just another guy
Do you
Want to go out to the
Movies
It’s just a suggestion
I could have any other way.
Bridge
Chorus
Bridge 2
Before you and I left the world behind
I look back in awe and knew I was so unkind.
I’m here to make amends
Let’s try to be more than friends
There’s a magic in this world that we must find.
(Quiet A Cappella)
Chorus 2
So let’s take back the city
Let’s take back the town
Grab the red paint, start the riot
Burn it to the ground
(Instruments return)
I need you to feel me
Understand my view
So I really know what it means
To actually be for you.
Chorus 1
I’ve got just one question
Come you out to play?

Chorus
Oh Society! What do you know?
We’re all here bleeding in the crimson snow.
Haven’t you an idea of where to go
Caught in the crossfire
We snapped the tripwire!
(Guitar Solo)
Verse 1
Have you heard the news?
Because just the other day
The world went to hell
When the kids went to play
The exodus came too soon
As the king fell from grace
He ripped off his crown
And said, “Tell it to my face!”
The army of thirteen
Hasn’t a name
But they sure know the rules
Of playing the game.
We need a fourteenth man
To jump at the chance
Arm yourself
For the onward advance
Bridge
Don’t look back, child
The shadow’s burning bright
Just grab anything
And prepare for the fight!
Verse 2
If I could say one thing
About the meaning of life,
Stay true to your soul
And back it up with a knife
Get away from the wall
Before they all fall down
So far it’s pretty good
‘Cause you tend to get around
Please tell me the truth
Where you’re goin’ from here
To shut up the liar
To make true our desire
Bridge
Guitar and Drum Set Duel (substitute for any instruments you want if necessary)
Bridge 2
The sun will rise
On solid ground
The sun will rise
No friends are found (x3)
(scream for one measure)
Oh Society! What do you know?
We’re all here dying in the blood-red snow.
It’s high time we showed up for the show
Caught in the crossfire
We snapped the tripwire!
Outro
Tripwire!
Hard Flyer!
Black Buyer!
BANG!
