Intro:
There s an old shed at the end of an overgrown 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
It s midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus:
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
There s music in the air and suites abandoned
They re singing cross farm in the evening breeze
But there s someone in the rows who s unwanted
And now they cut the faithful from the trees
And the bulldozers move in one by one
And it s midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
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 myself will come and drown the president
If the levees break again
Now we re standing at the crossroads waitin for instruction
And it s midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
There s a secret prison somewhere south of 60
And in that secret prison there is a secret cell
And the prisoners bound and burned, blinded and beaten
Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
Turn out the lights cause for one night that s enough son
It s midnight in the city of destruction
Chorus
