World Is Fire

(albüm: First Offense - 1983)

I see you there but I don't know you now
The face you wear is not the same
And there you stand so involved somehow
Igniting some other lover's flame

Do you want me out? Do you want to knock me down?
Well you're doing fine
And do you want my heart? Do you want the life in me for your security?

The world is fire now it's burning inside me
I said, the world is fire now
And I can't see the days in front of me
I can only see the ways you're haunting me
I said, the world is fire now

Feel the bitterness invade us now
Eroding what was never really mine
Don't talk to me about vulnerability
Exploiting what was given so honestly
And I said, do you want me out? Do you want to knock me down?
Well you're doing fine
And do you want my heart? Do you want the life in me for your security?

O, The world is fire now it's burning inside of me
I said, the world is fire now
I can't see the days in front of me
I can only see the ways you're haunting me
I say, the world is fire now

The world is fire now
I said, it's fire now
O, you know the world is fire now
I said, it's fire now-now
I said, it's fire now
I know its fire now
O fire now
I said, it's fire now-now

Fire now
I said, it's fire now
