We'll strike this city down
This place is painted with murder
Sway, sway my darling, sway
Let's dance dance tonight
Since I've seen the sun rise up over me
I hear the sirens all around
This city's filled with ghosts
And these streets won't lead you home
So keep dancing sweetheart
Know my love won't lead you home
The sky is calling out my name
But I don't know if these wings will hold
From towers as we watched
This could be the death of me
This place is painted with our murder
Swing down sweet chariot, oh
We'll fill the air with songs of praise
And make it back here someday
I'll scream your name out as we leave
Lord save this ship from sinking
