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
