Midnight in the City of Destruction Lyrics

There"s and old grayed shed at the end of an overgrow driveway
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
Years before that there"s a withered dog chained up there
I saved him maybe he saved me as well
Now he"s gone and I think I"ve come undone
CHORUS:

And it"s Midnight in the City of Destruction
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! x 2
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

There"s music in the air and sweet abandon
There"s signing cross the farm in the evening breeze
But there someone in the row who"s unwanted
And now they"ve cut the faithful from the trees
The bulldozers move in one by one
And it"s Midnight in the City of Destruction
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! x 2
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

I lost my guitar my home my hope and my good fortune
I lost my grandfather two neighbors and my friend
I pray that god himself will come and drown the president
If the levees break again
And were standing at the crossroads waiting for instruction

And it"s Midnight in the City of Destruction
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! x 2
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
There"s a secret prison somewhere south of 60
And in that secret prison there"s a secret cell
And the prisoners bound and burned blinded and beaten
But still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
Turn out the lights cause for one night, that"s enough son!

And it"s Midnight in the City of Destruction
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! x 2
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
