Take Me To The Riot - Stars

Grey skies and light fading

Headlamps making patterns on the wall

Uptown it’s dead now but

Out here no one seems to care at all

Slick girls and sick boys and

Each one lining up to take it home

They hold tight their coin and

They pray no one has to see them fall

I’m there, yeah, I serve them

The one with the empty-looking eyes

Come closer, you’ll see me:

The face that is used to telling lies

Saturday nights in neon lights

Sunday in the cell

Pills enough to make me feel ill

Cash enough to make me well

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me

You sprung me, I’m grateful

I love when you tell me not to speak

I owe you but I know you

You’ll have me back but it’s gonna take a week

What now kid?

Which way love?

Will we ever make up and be friends?

Good news is my shoes is

Lined with all my nickels and my tens

Let’s do them, Just feed me

I hate when I have to get to sleep

You despise me and I love you

It’s not much but it’s just enough to keep

Saturday nights in neon lights

Sunday in the cell

Pills enough to make me feel ill

Cash enough to make me well

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me

And let me stay

And let me stay

Let me stay

Let me, let me stay
