(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
Dear son
I'm walking down the street
Where the trees used to breathe
But we took them all down, down
Dear son
You wanted to be real
But we made you out of steel
Now you can't see the ground, ground
And I want you to be strong
Hear the tick of the clock on the countdown
You must try to live on
Oh now, can you shoot the lights out
I feel for ya
I breathe for ya
I just don't know how to love you right
I'd kill for ya
My tears are for ya
Oh now, can you shoot the lights out
I want you to be strong
Hear the tick of the clock of the countdown
You must try to live on
Oh now, can you shoot the lights out
Dear son
It's been a hundred years
Since I, I've seen the sky
And I, I wish you could see the sundown
Dear son
You're trying to survive
Against the odds we denied
Cause you're living in a ghost town
I feel for ya
I breathe for ya
I just don't know how to love you right
I'd kill for ya
My tears are for ya
Oh now, can you shoot the lights out
I want you to be strong
Hear the tick of the clock of the countdown
You must try to live on
Oh now, I just don't know how
To leave, to breathe
To tell ya that somehow we'll be saved
Just take my place
I'm sorry but I cannot stay
I feel for ya
I breathe for ya
I just don't know how
I want you to be strong
Hear the tick of the clock of the countdown
You must try to live on
Oh now, can you shoot the lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh) The lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh) The lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, no) The lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh) The lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh) The lights out
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, no) The lights out
