Night Rally Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would send out for assistance but there's someone on the signal wire
And the corporation logo is flashing on and off in the sky

Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally
Night rally, night rally...
