Up In Flames

(album: Heart Full Of Rage 2 - 1984)

Better not wait around for it
Try to pave the way, but I made it my destiny
Better off saving my pride
Holding my breath, can't expect you to wait for me

Look at my eyes, burning inside
Too many lies, gotta move cautious
Look at my eyes, burning inside
Too many lies, making me nauseous

Every night, all the time, riding with you
Camera lights, bougie nights, superficial
Desert Eagle, .45, custom issue
Did it right, now my life is presidential

Taking what's mine, the sky is up in flames
It's burning 'til it's gone
Could've been mine, you tried and missed that train
And swallowed up in the fog
Taking what's mine, the sky is up in flames
Up in, up in flames
Could've been mine, you tried and missed that train
Missed that, missed that train

You're stuck, it ain't my fault
Gotta clear my mind just to make the right move (Yeah)
I thought we had something special
Got so much potential in you
I don't wanna have sex with you since I'm living my life (Yeah)
Keeping me the real high, with me nonstop
I'ma go miles high, we was at the top (Yeah)
Trading in a nine-to-five, now it's on
Hurdle way too many roadblocks, but I couldn't fold

Every night, all the time, riding with you
Camera lights, bougie nights, superficial
Desert Eagle, .45, custom issue
Did it right, now my life is presidential

Taking what's mine, the sky is up in flames
It's burning 'til it's gone
Could've been mine, you tried and missed that train
And swallowed up in the fog
Taking what's mine, the sky is up in flames
Up in, up in flames
Could've been mine, you tried and missed that train
Missed that, missed that train

Swallowed up in the fog
Swallowed up in the fog
