City on Fire

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.

You told me wait and see

But I don't know why, I don't know why

The dust will hide the key

If you never try, you never try

Show me how, oh show me how we are supposed to be

You told me wait and see, but I don't know why, I don't know why

All I see is just your flames, they won't be turned away

Feel my fingers burning, but I wnat to stay

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go, go

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go

I really want to know

Can you tell me why? Tell me why?

The time is running slow

When you never try, you never try

Show me how, oh show me how this is supposed to be

I really want to know

Can you tell me why? Tell me why?

All I see is just your flames, they won't be turned away

Feel my fingers burning, but I want to stay

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go, go

And now the city i on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go

All I see is just your flames, they won't be turned away

Feel my fingers burning, but I want to stay

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go, go

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go

All I see is just your flames, they won't be turned away

Feel my fingers burning, but I want to stay

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go, go

And now the city is on fire

You and me we're lying wide awake

And we both know our own desire

Let us go, go, go

Let us go
