Silver cities rise,

the morning lights
                F#m     E
the streets that meet them ,
D                       F#   
and sirens call them on
E       A
with a song.
F#m             B
It's asking for the taking.
A       
Trembling, shaking.

        Am              D
It's asking for the taking.

your sons and daughters.
