AFI

Greater Than 84

There's an open sky and an empty city

Where the rain falls every night

Upon precious flames we once found so pretty

Our frail and only light

Love is all that's left and I'm emotionless

You won't read it in the papers

In this time, keep your hands clean, just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares

And I fear the future's here

It's 1985 (and it feels like, feels like survival)

Can you read my mind?

Oh, the emptiness overfills this city

So you'll be queen tonight

As you overthrow, looking pale and pretty

I welcome your requite

They told us love can save

So we prepared our graves

You won't read it in the papers

In this time, keep your hands clean, just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares

And I fear the future's here

It's 1985 (and it feels like, feels like survival)

Can you read my mind?

Will you hold my hand as we count the hours… the hours

Will you hold my hand as we count down the hours… the hours

Standing beneath the meteor showers?

You won't read it in the papers

In this time, keep your hands clean, just read my mind

We're trapped between the nightmares

And I fear the future's here

It's 1985 (and it feels like, feels like survival)

Can you read my mind?
