Yeah! we're on the list tonight's the night
no standing outside no waiting in line
gonna crash the party tonite
it's been such a long time
when we get backstage
we're gonna lose our mind, gonna lose our mind
but you've got things to do in the morning
gotta get up early you need more warning than that
you've got responsibilities now
you don't have time you can't go out like that
yeah, you and me like it used to be
let's burn this town down again tonight, all right!
yeah we're going out now checking in
in no condition for permission
no locked doors no last calls tonight
it's been such a long time
if we make it home it's gonna be daylight
yeah, ok all right
but you've got things to do in the morning
gotta get up early you need more warning than that
you've got responsibilities now
you don't have time you can't go out like that
yeah, you and me like it used to be
let's burn this town down again tonight, all right!
just me and you like we used to do
let's burn this town down
we start tonight
I'm on my way no turning back
this whole damn town's under attack
the only plan there is no plan
just leave a note they'll understand
so you take yours and I'll take mine
we'll leave the real world far behind
there's only one thing on our minds tonight
yeah, you and me like it used to be
let's burn this town down again tonight!
just me and you like we used to do...
