D♯The Fsirens are screaming and the A♯fires are howling,

 And a A♯blade shining oh so bright.

 There's Fevil in the air and there's Cthunder in the sky,

  Dm C A♯ (Fill)

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

 Oh and Fdown in the tunnel where the Cdeadly are rising,

 Oh I Dmswear I saw a young boy A♯/Ddown in the gutter.

 He was A♯/Dstarting to foam in the Cheat.A♯ C C A♯ C

But with every other beat I got left in my heart,

 You know I'd A♯rather be Cdamned with Fyou.

 If I Fgotta be damned you know I Cwanna be damned,

A♯Dancing through the Cnight with Fyou.

 If I Fgotta be damned you know I Cwanna be damned.

FGotta be damned you know I A♯9wanna be damned.

 If I Fgotta be damned you know I Cwanna be damned.

A♯Dancing through the Cnight,

A♯Dancing through the Cnight,

A♯ C F F (Gliss.)

Dancing through the night with you.
