Countdown

And so it begins. A countdown
Can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of this scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town
And so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound
And so it begins

Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite town
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Countdown to a night gown

Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away

And so it begins
It's the time of the season
When you're a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround
Countdown to a dark round

Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away

And so it begins
A countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of this scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town
And so it begins

It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound
And so it begins

Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away

And so it begins
