This City Is Contagious Lyrics

The word is out
This town can hardly breathe
When the air is filled with dust
And dying dreams

Attaching wings to all the sights
We're making sure these buildings fly
We've worked too hard
To leave without a fight

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

The word is out
This town, it never sleeps
A feeding ground
For those who still believe

Kissing curbs to bide our time
On this last night to feel alive
We will never leave this place behind

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
It'll only save us
Stronger than we came up
We are leaving it all

Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
(Right now this town is for the taking)
It'll only save us
(We'll bring neon to its knees)
Stronger than we came up
(Our time to shine beyond the pavement)
We are leaving it all
(We've got everything we need)

Right now this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine
Beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
(So turn the music up)
You're hearing more than sound
(You're hearing more than sound)
Right now this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

i love the line "we'll bring neon to its knees." it actually sounds like they're saying "we'll bring neil to his knees." i know its neon, but i like that it could go both ways :)

I love this song, it definitely is bout Vegas and I love that they have two songs bout there hometown the best thing bout the cab is were from the same city and seeing there hometown shows and hearing this live is just an amazing experience the best experience was seeing Alex Deleon`s face during vegas skies at there last hometown show he dedicated it to Vegas it was amazing he kept saying he was overwhelmed with the crowds size it was a HOB twice he stopped singing and just stood there smiling in shock cuz the whole crowd was singing it was really amazing

I'm pretty sure this about Alex DeLeon's experience and how he and his friend just packed up to leave to Laguna as I read on the Vegas Skies interpretations. It's about excited feelings, anxiety, overwhelming happiness, and luck.

"Our time to shine Beyond the pavement We've got everything we need So turn the music up You're hearing more than sound Right now this town is for the taking And it's all we'll ever need."

❝so turn the music up, you're hearing more than sound❞

That line is probably one of the best I have ever heard.

I agree with the Vegas bit. And like the line, "Hate us, It'll only save us" Is saying that if they are hated... It'll just help them in the end? Idk, I know what I think of that line, but I can't put it in words. It's my favorite one.
