Surprise surprise Yesterday is yesterday And lies they lied You don't have to love this town Walking through these empty streets This town is dead Rain is coming harder now upon your head You can't get far enough away

There's a black flag hangin' over this town, Get down! (get down!) Shut your eyes let darkness lead the fight, say goodnight The rest will watch their future die, It's time to let out the dead, dead come alive, We have the flag for the rest of our life

This is my town (It's my town! It's my town! It's my town!) When the sun goes down The stars come out like the ghost of yesterday So drink 'em down 'Cause some things never change Baby, sing and get loud
