Fire in the Night

I've walked this city Since I was a child O'er the river and the railyards I been runnin wild And at night when I slumber I can hear her song In the singing of the scrap iron And the crashing of the cars I feel it slipping through my fingers Like the light from the sun Wore her hair in summer kisses Sayin "You are the only one" Can't hold fast to it now No matter how I run All these things that I have said All these things that I have done Well they'll take your time for money Take your money for a life I want to burn it all down Make a fire in the night Yea Yea A fire in the night And it cuts just like a razor Does a river, does a rail I left blood in the background From when I shot it all to hell My love it runs red From my hands and knees I am praying through the pavement Through the gutters and the streets Well they'll take your time for money Take your money for a life I want to burn it all down Make a fire in the night All these rough, rough edges All these dull, dull lines Like the bars on the cage Of something wild Ooooh Oooooh Ooooooh Ooooooh Well the work is never over The battle doesn't end Prayin just to hold her Prayin that the truth might bend Made a little fire From a tiny little spark Somewhere the light is growing We're gonna chase a away the dark
