Watch your feet don't fall, this town is under, this town is under
I saw the lights, I came for you
You took my hand, and led me through
You stopped for me, when I was down
These flames are high but this town is ours
The blind are paralysed, pray for me, pray for me
Take my hand
and lead me on
I won't let go, we'll never fall
I'll make the stars align for you
These flames are high but this town is ours

All clams are born male but they have the choice to become female whenever they want, however once the change is done it is irreversible. On another note Bury Tomorrow are quite good.
