I don't think I wanna see the world today
I don't like the way the sun shines now
Another hero found a final resting place
The Californian fire bird's gone down
Though now, the brightest spark is gone
We still sing "Everlong"
It's always been in our heads
His spirit never died
It's only multiplied
In stadiums instead
♪
I ain't got the time to catch these restless tears
Though they may be rolling down my face
I keep searching through the sounds of golden years
I'll keep moving on, make no mistake
Though now, the brightest spark is gone
We still sing "Everlong"
It's always been in our heads
His spirit never died
It's only multiplied
In stadiums instead

Send us something from your recent afterlife
A bolt of lightning to wake up the dead
On our shoulders like an evil butterfly
The rock 'n' roll conductor in our heads
And now, although your days are gone
We still sing "Everlong"
It's always been in our heads
Your spirit died
It's only multiplied
In stadiums instead
♪
Come the night
♪
Yeah!
Where the sky gets torched, and the rebels run
We'll be waiting for you until the birth of the dawn
All we need is a mic, bass guitar and drums
To show us the way of the vagabond
Come the night, come the night
Come the night
Come the night, come the night
Come the night
