The Big Boom

It was 3 AM when I heard the sound

Stuck my head outside and I looked around

In the echo of car alarms ringing

The sense that something terrible had happened again

Hit the lights and put the TV on

And they said that Michigan was gone

Gone for good

Now I'm waiting for the big boom

And 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

And 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

And so I'm waiting for the big boom

And 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
