I never seek shelter, I wait for the storm
If you don't fear the sting, you can take on the swarm
I'm not looking for answers, I'm looking for trouble
So reach for the sky when the bass starts to rumble
Countdown City alone in the dark
Countdown City all it takes is a spark
I pulled out a Euro, smiling, beguiling
Turned down the lights and we started conspiring
Won't pray to your gods for I have not the tongue
But I spit so much fire I've got the black lung
Countdown City alone in the dark
Countdown City
Where it's always the midnight hour
Jack into the control tower
It's always darkest just before dawn
The doomsday clock has been disabled
Things are feeling just a little unstable
It's always darkest just before dawn
Warning, warning, get off the streets
There's a ghost dance preparing on the hard concrete
So roll out your tanks and call in your air raids
And when the bombs drop I'll be surfing the shockwaves
