    Gonna make a record in the month of May
    In the month of May, in the month of May
    Gonna make a record in the month of May
    When the violent wind blows the wires away

    Month of May, it's a violent thing
    In the city, their hearts start to sing
    Well, some people sing, it sounds like they're screaming
    Used to doubt it but now I believe it

    Month of May, everybody's in love
    And the city was sent from above
    And just when I knew what I wanted to say
    The violent wind blew the wires away

    We were shocked in the suburbs
    Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
    Kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
    Well, some things are pure and some things are right
    But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight

    I said some things are pure, and some things are right
    But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight

    So young, so young
    So much pain for someone so young
    Well, I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
    But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?

    First they built the road
    Then they built the town
    That's why we're still driving around
    And around and around and around and around
    And around and around and around and around
    And around and around and around and around

    2009, 2010 wanna make a record how I felt then
    When we stood outside in the month of May
    And watched the violent wind blow the wires away

    If I die in the month of May
    Let the wind take my body away, yeah
    Wish I may or wish I might
    But meet me down there with my arms folded tight

    Start again in the month of May
    Start again in the month of May
    Come on and blow the wires away
    Come on and blow the wires away

    Start again in the month of May
    Start again in the month of May
    Come on and blow the wires away
    Come on and blow the wires away

    Start again in the month of May
    Start again in the month of May
    Come on and blow the wires away
    Come on and blow the wires
    The wires away Writer/s: Jeremy Gara, Regine Chassagne, Richard R Parry, Tim Kingsbury, William Butler, Win Butler
