with union locals draped across our chest
like we were coming up for air
we're racing our bikes up the road
towards the sounds of independence square
but there's no city lights on these streets tonight
no one lives here anymore
just the boarded up shots and vacant lots
and the still of a corner store
with the sound of the night ticking fast as it can
in the silence that stands in the darkness of town
with our bones buried in the ground
take me down to the disco
with your blood on my hands
ticking time till they get you
take me down to the disco
well we grew up on the walk back home
from a school we didn't care about
'til you showed up drunk on the lawn
with a story that you couldn't get out
you joined the army on my birthday
so I wandered the streets alone
they don't draft kids 'round here no more
we just join up on our own
with the sounds of the night ticking fast as they can
in the silence that stands in the darkness of town
take me down to the disco
with your blood on my hands
ticking time 'til they get you
take me down to the disco
they busted the unions in august
promising a smoother ride
but old money don't change much
it just rolls to the inside
so I'm getting out of here tonight
because I'm not much for suicide
I'm just looking for a friend
who moved to the north side
'cause there's no riot tonight
no revolution to fight
just the ticking of time as you wait for the light
on the edge of a union town
take me down to the disco
with your blood on my hand
ticking time 'til they get you
take me down to the disco
