Fifth Floor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't stop the fire; / you wouldn't want to lose it, anyway. /
Can't stop the fire, / your things are here to stay. /
Remember when we used to laugh? /
We did it all / for nothing, / yeah. /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
Oh no, it's getting warmer every day (can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
We're living on the fifth floor and it's okay (can't save it all) /
When you look in her eyes / and there's love in her eyes, /
But you don't believe her. /
When you look in her eyes / and there's love in her eyes, /
But you don't believe her, / and then she says /
Remember when we used to talk? /
Seems we did it all / for nothing, / yeah. /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
Oh no, it's getting warmer every day (can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
We're living on the fifth floor and it's okay (can't save it all) /
It's okay (baby, baby, baby), / it's okay (baby, baby, baby.) /
(baby, baby, baby), it's okay (baby, baby, baby.) / oooh. /
And then she says. /
(can't stop the fire, / can't save it all /
Can't stop the fire, / can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
Oh no, it's getting warmer every day (can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
We're living on the fifth floor and it's okay (can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
You wouldn't want to lose it anyway (can't save it all) /
Can't stop the fire (can't stop the fire), /
We're living on the fifth, baby, it's okay (can't save it all) /
It's okay, / it's okay, yeah, / it's okay, yeah.
