This is place is wasteland
It's written all over your face
The strip malls stretch out to skyscrapers
Sprawl up into space

I've got to get out of here
Before it gets into us, I swear
We can slip out the door
While there's life still to taste
Before the first light hits the steel wires
We'll make our escape

Do you think you're the only one
Starving for wonder?
'Cause you're not the only one
Who's going under

We'll sneak through the streets
Coolly watching the ghost neon glow
There's no need for road signs
To read or a map to follow

Straight into the darkness ahead
And into the silence
Where everything disappears
And no one can ever find us
Empty faces
And other spaces close
Silent faces
Steal these wasted souls
Soon we will be gone now
Soon we will be gone now

This is place is a wasteland
It's written all over your face
Let's slip through the cracks in the floor now
There's no time to waste

I've got to out of here
Before it gets into us, I swear
