Pebe Sebert City's Burning
[Verse 1]
It's like a jungle in this heatwave
Sweat rolls down the dirty streets
A hunchback lady asked me today
"Why did you send your son away?"
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell her, I always tell her
"This ain't no place for a kid to be, this ain't no place for a kid to be"
[Chorus]
City's burning, always burning
The city's always burning
City's burning, always burning
City's always burning
[Verse 2]
"Would you like white wine on ice?" The lady said as my eyes
Saw the TV without sound, there were bloody children covering the ground
But no one cares, no one sees
Some unknown actress is talking to me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell her, I try to tell hеr
"This ain't no place for a kid to be, this ain't no place for a kid to bе" (Oh)
[Chorus]
City's burning, always burning
The city's always burning
City's burning, always burning
City's always burning
[Bridge]
And to my son, I leave this world (City's burning, always burning)
A bomb of heat, this killing place (The city's always burning)
It's all I have to give to you (City's burning, always burning)
Put out the fire, search for the truth (The city's always burning)
[Chorus]
City's burning, always burning (Oh)
The city's always burning (My little one)
City's burning, always burning
City's always burning (Close your sweet, sweet eyes, I had a dream once)
City's burning, always burning (But you know, our [Misty?] day is through)
City's burning, always burning (So close to me, my little one)
