Fire on the mountain Through the fields Save yourself There's evil in the garden You don't see it I can tell How do you sleep while the city's burning? Where do you go when you can't go home? How do you drink when there's blood in the water? Where do you turn when the world moves on? When the world moves on On Fire on the mountain You can feel it against your skin You're standing by the river Let the river take you in How do you sleep while the city's burning? Where do you go when you can't go home? How do you drink when there's blood in the water? Where do you turn when the world moves on? When the world moves on When the world moves on On I see smoke out on the horizon Mama, get your baby take it down to the water I feel the wind like a promise broken I see the future but it's getting farther I see smoke out on the horizon Mama, get your baby take it down to the water I feel the wind like a promise broken I see the future but it's getting farther How do you sleep while the city's burning? Where do you go when you can't go home? How do you drink when there's blood in the water? Where do you turn when the world moves on? When the world moves on When the world moves on On
