Lyrics

Boys will be poison
Girls will be war
Your path has been chosen
Your voice has been torn out at the roots
What else is new?
Boo, hoo

With that fire in your eyes, little starling, what's with you?
You promised you wouldn't get angry, darling

We are so far, so lost, it's true
We can't attempt to start anew
We lost our way so long ago
Chopping things down before they grow
Been gone so long, we went too far
Like crashing jets and shooting stars
We let the best of us burn down
Hot autumn nights in Chinatown

Life can be murder
Death can be calm
Yet no one in their right mind thinks they deserve to fall
Shot out of your boots
What else is new?
Boo, hoo

With that fire in your eyes, little starling, what's with you?
You promised you wouldn't get angry, now we're through

We are so far, so lost, it's true
We can't attempt to start anew
We lost our way so long ago
Chopping things down before they grow
Been gone so long, we went too far
Like crashing jets and shooting stars
We let the best of us burn down
Hot autumn nights in Chinatown

We are so far, so lost, it's true
We can't attempt to start anew
We lost our way so long ago
Chopping things down before they grow
Been gone so long, we went too far
Like crashing jets and shooting stars
We let the best of us burn down
Hot autumn nights in Chinatown
