lyrics

there ain't no permits needed
no one's wearin' riot gear
i don't have a sign to wave
i just want you here
but i'll take your red tent cities
i'll take your 99
i'll take your white-hot anger
i just want your hand in mine

and it's funny cuz you're next to me
but we're a long time apart
come on over, the space is free
why don't you occupy my heart

this world is going down (in flames!)
and i spend my nights alone (drinkin' whislkey!)
there may be a body there (no there ain't!)
but you are long, long gone
come back for the revolution
come back and sing along
come back for the retribution
just come back - i was wrong

and it's funny cuz you're next to me
but we're a long time apart
come on over, the space is free
why don't you occupy my heart
