Listen

She was bored

With a grey and aimless mind

She was born

With a chance that she denied

Oh, she caught my eye

Flew somewhere

To a house every Friday night

Working for her man

Believing that her name would shine

Oh, she caught my mind, yeah

Everybody listen

There's a riot in the air tonight

And listen

It's a tragedy you can't deny

And listen

She'll be calling out your name tonight

And listen

Everybody listen

She had fame

Oh god, what she had won

Look beneath the sheets

In this bed's a fool for fun

Oh, she caught my mind, oh

Everybody listen

There's a riot in the air tonight

And listen

It's a tragedy you can't deny

And listen

She'll be calling out your name tonight

And listen

Everybody listen

Everybody listen

There's a riot in the air tonight

And listen

It's a tragedy you can't deny

And listen

She'll be calling out your name tonight

And listen

Everybody listen

Everybody listen

Everybody listen, oh

And everybody listen now

Just listen now, no

Just listen now, no

Everybody listen

Everybody listen

Oh, just listen

Just listen
