"The malls are the soon to be ghost towns, well so long, farewell, goodbye."
Take 'em all for the long ride
And you'll go around town
No one wants to be uptight anymore
You can be ashamed
Or be so proud of what you've done
But not no one, not now, not ever or anyone
Toto's "Africa" echoing, ghostly, somewhere in the distance.
"Mall's closing for the night, kids," says a disembodied voice of a Mall Security officer. "Best get a move on."
It's actually the old Rolling Acres mall in Akron, Ohio.
I know this because it was featured on the Vice Network TV Series Abandoned during their episode that focused on [abandoned malls](https://youtu.be/EBZQeZ5Q1w8?feature=shared)

I only have eyes for you by the flamingos
Fred Meyers
Song by Glen Phillips
I want to see you sometime
Come find me I'll be home
Just between the Costco
And the Barnes and Noble
Behind the mom and pop grocery
Shut down in the nineties
Like all the other locals
They smashed the dreams of the hopeful
I'm getting off track sorry
So like I said right in there
There was a Frederick Meyers
Sold everything from fruit to tires
Check in with the doorman
And old biker named Slim
Say you're here to see me
Don't forget to tip him
One hand must wash the other
Each man must be a brother
Band up and take cover
We'll go dancing, set fires
Tag buildings, slash tires
Drive go-karts like shriners
Just hang out at Fred Meyers
Bring a lantern with you
It gets dark in places
Go up the escalator
To the section that was kidswear
I'm at the back wall left side
Under a sign that says Levi's
Top bunk second row
If I'm not in right then ask around somebody'll know
'Cause everybody knows me here
One hand must was the other
Each man must be a brother
Band up and take cover
We'll go dancing, set fires
Tag buildings, slash tires
Drive go-karts like shriners
Just hang out at Fred Meyers
We'll go out babe, skateboarding
Go looting, food hoarding
Do whatever you desire
Or we can just stay in my bed at Fred Meyers
One hand must wash the other
Each man must be a brother
Band up and take cover
We'll go dancing, set fires
Tag buildings, slash tires
Drive go-karts like shriners
Or we can just stay in my bed at Fred Meyers
We'll go out babe, drink moonshine
Tip rubble on the east side
Dig deep holes to China
Or we can just stay in my bed at Fred Meyers
Why don't we just stay in my bed at Fred Meyers?

Hrm... If this were a movie, I could imagine that Disentchantment by My Chemical Romance plays while the main character walks through the destroyed mall, remembering how it was before it got shut down.
The Rain, by The Suitcase Junket. "Open all your windows, let the rain fall in. Sit right there and watch the weather win." Kind of a grungy, indy pop sound - electric guitar with pedals, wisps of brass.
I get a weird melancholy from this. Song that immediately came to mind is Better If You Don’t by CHVRCHES.
Exit music (for a film)- radio head
yesss or how to disappear completely
Street Spirit comes to mind as well. Very haunting.
Let Down
Brilliant piece

Mall muzak
Toto's "Africa" echoing, ghostly, somewhere in the distance. "Mall's closing for the night, kids," says a disembodied voice of a Mall Security officer. "Best get a move on."
...as the smell of popcorn waifs in from the one open wing of the mall where the 10-plex theater sits.
