lyrics

City's burning in the night.
Children stand on their toes to see that light.
People burning,
Churches falling,
Heaven's calling so silently
At you.

Plain old you.
I'd crash my car for you.

Crackhouse burning so silently.
The city burns so restlessly
With auto-fumes and garbage tunes
Heaven's shouting
It's screaming at you.

Plain old you and all the plain old things you do.
I'd burn this city down for you.

Auto cars and cheap guitars
On the bonfire 42nd street,
For you.

Children sleeping in the burning city.
In the morning it won't be pretty.
Waking up in the town of ashes.
Campfire dreams of burning down with you.

Plain old you.
I've got the crackhouse burning blues for you.
