Behold the city roars

And what you really want won't stay with you

Oh how the shifting light once clean precise

Conspires now to play with you

Dust falls on everyone

Our innocence with time all rearranged

Two hearts beat on

Dismayed to find their rhythms so estranged, oh

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you

Today I walk familiar lanes

'Neath stone and spar where nothing's changed but space and time

And if you tread your step the same

Choose this hour, this day, feel your hand for mine

Ours was a cruel exchange

Staying whole or being me and you

Forget or find a way

To cut a hole that only we pass through

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you

Dust falls on everyone

Our innocence with time all rearranged

Two hearts beat on

Dismayed to find their rhythms so estranged, oh

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you
