when I woke up this moring
I thought that I was dead
there were flames all around me
and brkimstone neath my bed
well I knew I wasn't dreaming
'cause the evidence was plain
and the radio said, stay in bed
it's gonna rain, rain, rain
so I took myself a walking
up and down the streets
I saw people wearing rain coats
smoke was steaming round their feet
well the Celestine Propecies might have something yet
I say this ain't livin' it's as crazy a it gets
this ain't livin'
not with your eyes closed
this ain't livin'
this is how it goes
your souls are trembling on a hot high wire
look out
the world's on fire
well it's not what they're saying
it's how it's said
and it's not about justice baby
it's about bread
don't call it dreaming
call it believing
save your hide and take a ride
on the next train leaving
this ain't livin'
not with your eyes closed
this ain't livin'
this is how it goes
your souls are trembling on the hot high wire
look out
the world's on fire
this ain't livin'
not with your eyes closed
this ain't livin'
this is how it goes
your souls are trembling on the hot high wire
look out
the world's on fire
