Gone Lyrics - Singles - Electric Daylight

The kids have all left town 

To start some different lives 

It's no real surprise 

It's been so long since 

We sat alone to watch sun rise 

And bottled fireflies 

And as the sun sinks down 

Low against the darkening sky 

What's to become of these empty streets? 

Like the fires once that burned my heart someday 

They'll be gone like me 

As the darkness lifts 

Flames arise into the night 

But still you say it's all right 

This city's bound to burn 

Can't you see its shining light? 

This industry's such a sight 

And we were stuck inside 

Trying to find one way out 

We were never ones to stand this heat 

Terrified of burning up inside this town 

We'll be gone to sea 

When you said good-bye last night 

I knew that you were lying 

Just like you've done with everyone else 

We're only living here 

Cause fire keeps us from dying 

Soon we'll have to care for ourselves 

And as the sun sinks down 

Low against the darkening sky 

What's to become of these empty streets? 

Like the fires that once burn my heart someday 

They'll be gone like me 

They'll be gone like me 

They'll be gone like me
