lyrics

Now we’re staring at the last signs of America
Yeah we’re staring at the last signs, fit to die
As we see the paint keep peeling
And calling up that feeling
As we know our days are numbered in the sky

Now we’re standing on the last signs of America
Yeah we’re standing on a land once built to fly
Oh our hometown as we know it
Is a ghost in shadows growing
As we’re walking our empty streets with empty minds

Now I wanna know what you’re made of
And I wanna know where you came from
And I wanna grow up a brave love
So show me your soul
And all that you gave up

To come and rescue the last signs of America
To come and rescue the last signs, fit to die
Now let’s see your garden growingLast
And all your lamps keep glowing
To build into a new believing in the light
To build into a new believing in the light
