Did you see the last stand this summer
Something smells in the air
Can you hear those boys, they're screaming
And I wish you were here
You were nowhere to be found
You always left town
A writer's most precious of lines
You had me at no cost
When the tide is in reverse
And darkness falls
I cry when the lights go on
The city's all yours
I stand
I stand alone
I stand
I stand alone
You wake up in the middle of the night
You don't have to save us at all
The morning comes, and you feel so calm
Why did you come here at all
Did you take the last dance this summer
There was music in the air
Did you feel that touch of the angel
I wish you were here
I hear rain punishing the tanks
The preacher speaks his words
I leave, and darkness falls
The city's all yours
I stand
I stand alone
Stand stand stand
I stand
I stand alone
Stand stand stand
I stand
Stand stand stand
I stand alone
I stand alone
I stand
Stand stand stand
I stand alone
Stand stand stand
You wake up in the middle of the night
You don't have to save us at all
The morning comes, and you feel so calm
Why did you come here at all
