Lyrics

When the World Comes Down

These rules were made for breaking and bending

Ditch the start, we'll start at the ending

I.........

Will wonder why.........

These fools are lost and which way are sleeping?

Send my love till my chicks are weeping

I..........

Will wonder while............

Baby, when the world comes down

We're dancing as we're burning out

Gotta get up, get up, get up

And maybe I'll stick around

All this fake and all this pretending

What's with you you're so condesending

I............

Will wonder why..........

At seventeen we started a routine

I would spend a lot of time repeating

I.............

Will wonder while........

Baby, when the world comes down

We're dancing as we're burning out

Gotta get up, get up, get up

And maybe I'll stick around

Tonight, all the stars are out to break your spine

Tonight, aggression on your lips is fine by me

And baby, when the world comes down

We're dancing as we're burning out

Gotta get up, get up, get up

And maybe I'll stick around

Baby, when the world comes down

We're dancing as we're burning out

Gotta get up, get up, get up

And maybe I'll stick around

Tonight, all the stars are out to break your spine

Tonight, aggression on your lips is fine by me
