City`s On Fire Lyrics


Long John Silver’s got his head in the clouds
Sleeping on the concrete
and he’s thinking out loud
When’s the man gonna bring the candy
cane
Selling dreams in the city lights
A stranger’s kiss is the dead
man’s bite
It’s a shame when their falling threw the cracks

When
the sun goes down,
that’s when the night rages on
When the thrill is
gone,
that’s when you’ve got to hang on

The city’s on
fire,
Taking life upon demand,
passing through the dirty hands
The
city’s on fire,
And it’s time to take it back from the man 
across
the tracks

A street smart talker with a gun in his hand,
A big John
Wayne out to fight for the land
Life’s a dare when you’re running with
the pack
Another day and another crime,
One more deal and now you’re
doing time,
Never learn when you fight the American way

When the sun
goes down,
that’s when the night rages on
When the thrill is
gone,
that’s when you’ve got to hang on

The city’s on
fire,
Taking life upon demand,
passing through the dirty hands
The
city’s on fire,
And it’s time to take it back from the man 
across
the tracks
The city’s on fire,
You know you’ve lost control
when
you’re selling off your soul
The city’s on fire,
Stepping closer to
the grave,
you can’t afford to look
away
