City`s On Fire — текст песни (Impellitteri)

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
