And so it begins,
Countdown, can you think of a
reason why you so love
it downtown?
I met you in the middle of this
scandalous town.
It's a miracle you're
walking around.
Countdown in a dark town, and so
it begins.

It started with a minute of your
favorite sound.
A sexy little secret of a radio song.
I wish it wasn't floating around.
Countdown to a tight sound, and
so it begins

Can you think of a reason that it's
your favorite town.
It caught you with your finger on a
video girl.
America is watching you now.
Countdown to a night gown.

Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day.
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away.
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away.

And so it begins.
It's the time of the season when
you're a man around town.
Imagination taking you where no
one else can.
Floating on sins that surround.
Count down to a dark town and so
it begins,

It's a menace with the promise of
a medicine man,
As fatal as the making of a
serial fan.
Come over here as soon as
you can
Countdown to a dark brown.

Hey now...
