[Verse 1]
She was bored
With a grey and aimless mind
She was born
With a chance that she denied
Oh, she caught my eye
[Verse 2]
Flew somewhere
To a house every Friday night
Working for her man
Believing that her name would shine
Oh, she caught my mind, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
