There's no air left out on the street
The crowds act immune to the burgeoning heat
Smoke is rising yet they seem not to see
But I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I'm burning up and it's starting to show
Feels like I'm melting with the concrete below
It's my own fault that I've stayed here too long
I should have been gone
Gone, gone
And it's a
City on fire
City on fire
Burning you down
Down to the wires
You can try to leave
But she won't let you deny her
She takes what she needs
Leaving you hollow and tired
The armies of panic are on the attack
Noises boom like explosions making my head crack
When I leave I swear I'll never come back
But I keep coming back
Coming back
And it a
City on fire
City on fire
Burning you down
Down to the wires
You can try to leave
But she won't let you deny her
She takes what she needs
Leaving you hollow and tired
She is my captor and I'm chained to her feet
I'll serve the sentence til my time is complete
I'm hoping one day she will set me free
But there's no mercy for me
For me
And it's a
City on fire
City on fire
Burning you down
Down to the wires
You can try to leave
But she won't let you deny her
She takes what she needs
Leaving you hollow and tired
