I said – nights – long nights
Living in a world gone mad
Walking down the street gone bad
In the desperate moonlight
Dreams gone south
People living hand to mouth
Living in a place called doubt
Never having a real life

In your arms – I’ve found a secret hiding place
In your eyes – I see the light of our scape

We can’t hear the sirens
Screaming in the street
Can’t see the storm clouds
Building in the big city heat
It could be armageddon
Seven stories below
When it all comes down
It’s in your arms I’ll stay
We’ll love the world – love the world away

I said love – sweet love
The only thing I know for sure
I finally found – the perfect cure
The rhyme and the reason
I said run, run with me
Through this crazy world we see
We’ll make a little history
A heart for all seasons

Slow down – why keep up with this frantic place
I swear – above the storm we’ll find some space

We can’t hear the sirens
Screaming in the street
Can’t see the storm clouds
Building in the big city heat
It could be armageddon
Seven stories below
When it all comes down
It’s in your arms I’ll stay
We’ll love the world – love the world away

In our little corner of paradise
We’ll leave it all behind us
No one’s gonna find us
In our little corner of paradise
Cut off from the world we know
Life’s so amazing, we’ll live it twice
In our little corner of paradise

We can’t hear the sirens
Screaming in the street
Can’t see the storm clouds
Building in the big city heat
It could be armageddon
Seven stories below
When it all comes down
It’s in your arms I’ll stay
We’ll love the world – love the world away
