Fire in the City - Bob Mould

Fire in the City Lyrics

Airplanes flying overhead
While I toss and turn in bed
A life in disarrayCrumbling ground
Tumbling down
Run to the sound
Of a fire in the cityA sudden jolt, I'm wide awake
Bolting for the door I take
A couple things I thought were precious to meCrumbling ground
Tumbling down
Run to the sound
Of a fire in the cityAnd as I gather up my sins
The ashes, they roll in
My ascension has begunCrumbling ground
Tumbling down
Run to the sound
Of a fire in the cityAs the flames begin to rise
(Burning ground)
I see the life I left behind

(Don't turn around)Constellations in the sky
Constellations, the goodbye
I don't wanna goCrumbling ground
Tumbling down
Run to the sound
Of a fire in the city
