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
