Soon as the sun goes down we're gonna take a little walk outside Down past the river, down by the railroad tracks You and I all alone beneath the glow of the city lights High octane and a book of matches cast a pretty glow against the sky Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
I saw on TV where this guy outside of St. Paul shot up a diner for no reason At all I swear on my life I wouldn't want to use a gun But a little fire now and then never hurt anyone Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
You in your dress, me in my father's suit We're gonna join hands as the colors begin to shoot Wait until the flames are burning hogh Cause I wanna prove my love to you against the midnight sky Black and gold
