The Big Boom

Lyrics

It was 3 a.m. when I heard the sound
 Stepped my head outside and I looked around
 In the echo, the car alarms ringing
 The sense that something terrible had happened again
 Cut the lights and put the TV on
 And they said that Michigan is gone
 Gone for good
 Now I'm waiting for the big boom
 It knows where I'm gonna be the big boom
 I'm always getting closer to the big boom
 And it will catch up to me, the big boom
 ♪
 There are few safe places left today
 Every night they come and take one away
 Early on, we believed we had a chance
 Now there's no one who thinks that way anymore
 And the infrastructure's coming down
 And the government went underground
 Gone for good
 Now I'm waiting for the big boom
 It knows where I'm gonna be the big boom
 It's always getting closer to the big boom
 And it will catch up to me, the big boom
 ♪
 Only move by night, only move alone
 Keep the fires low and stay off the phone
 Keep on moving or stay right where you are
 What's the difference, it's only a matter of time
 And one by one the cities fall
 And there won't be anything at all
 Gone for good
 So I'm waiting for the big boom
 It knows where I'm gonna be the big boom
 It's always getting closer to the big boom
 And it will catch up to me, the big boom
