Come to my house tonight We can be together in the nuclear sky And we will dance in the poison rain And we can stay a while in Heaven today Let's stay together Let's stay, these days are ours Let's die together? Two hearts under the skyscrapers There's a time bomb in the high rise There's a blue suburban dream Will I see you up in paradise Or have you come to catch me? Come to my arms tonight Just you and me together under electric light And she will dance in the poison air And we can stay together Two hearts under the skyscrapers There's a time bomb in the high rise There's a blue suburban dream Will I see you up in Paradise Or have you come to catch me? Come to my arms I'm lost Just you and me together in the year of the horse Single file in the nuclear night And we could feel a little closer As we tumble through the sky Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours Let's stay together Two hearts under a skyscraper Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers
