Wide awake pre-daybreak Love it when the earth shakes High tail, you just can't sit still Quit before it's widespread Learn to paint the town red Xylene always made you ill Go back to that old camp That's the way it goes champ Some revivals don't work out Young men if your design Don't fall left on the timeline Join in while your new friends shout This is it, this is ours Here we go Wide awake and abstract Ideas bloom in flashbacks Today could be then or last week Distance makes the truth clear So gotta get of here This green glass gets bleaker than bleak It's so hard to dance when The system's got no low and No subs means no love means no fun And all the boys on the street Keeping time on repeat Keeping time til the last song's done Time for radiance Time for fantasy Time for segways between shades Time for time-streching Time as gloom Time for dudes as disillusioned as you So say farewell to that last phase Hey pal these are the days Everything is moving so fast Young men with such foresight Forward in your birthright Join in cause this time it's gonna be last This is it, this is ours Here we go (hey you guys)
