Board Up The House Lyrics - Singles - Genghis Tron

The streets have gone dark 

They've been dark for days 

We board up the house 

Hide upstairs and wait and wait 

Just outside 

We hear awful sounds 

Cower in bed 

And think of ourselves only 

The last lights are all fire 

We let the heat thrive 

Panicked a week 

Starved just as long 

We're two signs of life 

Our doors are marked 

Desperate chants of 

"Help will come 

Help will come 

Can't try to leave 

Help will come, finally" 

The last lights are all fire 

Let the heat thrive 

Turn the seas sour 

Bleed the ground dry 

I won't wait 

You'll give up with me 

No one comes 

And we rot in bed 

No one comes 

And the boards stay up
