That's almost set to explode
Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse)
Lion city's begun to rot
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
Lion city's closed and locked
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away

And he does the cocaine shake

Between it's future and it's past

The city feels like a cage

Feels like a powder keg
Bm G F#
And now it's gonna explode
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th
And he's wearing a blue face
Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
G F#
And I won't be long
