See them wearing black hoods and sharing stolen cigarettes

Jumping higher across the pyre - flaming silhouettes

Look at them gather round, drinking the liquor down

Raising their voices in harmony

Enter the ring of fire, through the razor wire

Follow the melody

 

Take a chance don’t you glance back in front of the glorious rabble 

 

Running Wild

God only knows what they are doing

Jumping through the flame

Laughing through the pain

Dancing in the ruin

 

In the factory the walls in tact but the roof is gone

Stars are shining through twisted pylon statues 

Everyone is here

Light up the Catherine wheel, gunpowder rocket squeal

Sending sparks up into the night

Maybe you’re near me now, hear my silent vow

Here in the quarter-light

Feel the rhythm of madness beating the heart of the glorious rabble

 

Running Wild

God only knows what they are doing

Jumping through the flame

Laughing through the pain

Dancing in the ruin

 

Running Wild

God only knows what we are doing

Passing in the dark

Catch a falling spark

Dancing in the ruin
