[Intro — Solo piano, distant television news broadcast, atmospheric synthesizer] [Spoken, quietly] "Good evening. We interrupt this broadcast..." [Pause] [Verse 1] There's a red sky over the city tonight And the moon looks like a warning light The streets are full, the phones are dead A million things we should've said The clock is ticking, the world's on fire The end is coming, climbing higher So take my hand, don't close your eyes We've got one more night beneath these skies [Pre-Chorus] We could run, we could hide We could wait for the other side But if this is where the music ends Let's turn it up and dance again! [Chorus] It's the last night of our lives! So raise your hands up to the sky! If we're going down, we're going down tonight With a little love and a lot of light! It's the last night, let the heavens fall! We're gonna dance until there's nothing at all! No more tomorrow, no more goodbyes Just one last party for the rest of our lives! [Instrumental — Huge synthesizer hook, electric guitar, pounding drums] [Verse 2] There's a thousand cars on an empty street And strangers kissing to the same heartbeat The rich, the poor, the young, the old All of us dancing in the afterglow So pour that drink, let the champagne fly There's no more reason to ask us why We spent our whole lives waiting for a sign Well, here it is — we're out of time! [Pre-Chorus] We could pray, we could cry We could curse the stars tonight But if there's nothing left to save Let's make a memory for the grave! [Chorus] It's the last night of our lives! So raise your hands up to the sky! If we're going down, we're going down tonight With a little love and a lot of light! It's the last night, let the heavens fall! We're gonna dance until there's nothing at all! No more tomorrow, no more goodbyes Just one last party for the rest of our lives! [Bridge — Music drops to piano and choir] And if the morning never comes If the stars go dark, if the bells don't ring I wouldn't trade a single second For another chance at anything We had our moments, we had our time We had our reasons, we had our crimes And when they write the final line Let them say we lived! [Build — Choir grows, drums return, guitar rises] LET THEM SAY WE LIVED! [Final Chorus — Full arena-sized production, soaring lead vocals, huge choir] It's the last night of our lives! So raise your hands up to the sky! If we're going down, we're going down tonight With a little love and a lot of light! It's the last night, let the heavens fall! We're gonna dance until there's nothing at all! No more tomorrow, no more goodbyes JUST ONE LAST PARTY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES! [Outro — Repeated choir vocals, huge instrumental climax] One last night! One last dance! One last chance! One last chance! [Spoken, as the music fades] "Goodnight, everybody." [Final piano chord — abrupt silence]
