This is a test of the out door warning system, system
There's poetry in cigarettes and alcohol
In walking the streets and looking for love
There's poetry in asphalt and smog
And the down town monster squad
So where was the boy who held the monsters at bay
Who'd work himself hard just to beat the mundane
He's down town
The sun's out
His body's turned sick it's ergonomically trained
This internet porn is just eating his brain
But somehow
He'll get out
With the down town monster squad
He'll be escaping what he's got
And the days are long
And who was that girl at the end of the day
With the monster alarm that was programmed to fade
She'll come down
To fade out
We're in the same book or we're on the same page
We've been running down town for what feels like an age
Our time's now
To get out
With the down town monster squad
We'll be escaping what we've got
And the days are long
Night time comes
No need to be afraid
It's the day that you run from
And down town's gone
No need to be it's slave
It's the gun that you run from
It's the gun that you run from
With the down town monster squad
You'll be safe
Escaping what you've got
You get paid
By the down town monster squad
You'll be safe
Escaping what you've got
You've got paid
By the down town monster squad
You've escaped
Safe in what you've got
Da-da da da da da da da da-da
Da-da da da da da da da da-da
Da da-da, da da-da
There's poetry in cigarettes and alcohol
In walking the streets and looking for love
There's poetry in asphalt and smog
And the down town monster squad
