The siren's risin'
There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street
The temperatures are risin'
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' streets, come on
A century that's hardly on its feet
And the late news breaks early
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?
And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
(London is burning)
ย
London is burning, don't tell the Queen
Somebody charged the speed garage
And they burned down Bethnal Green
Piccadilly's yearning like a ragged knee
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' streets, come on
We're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled
And the late news breaks early
So how should life be lived around the world?
(London is burning)
And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
Ready to face that dawn with no pity
Come on, yeah, come on
(London is burning)
Yeah, come on
(London is burning)
ย
(Soon you're gonna be runnin' down)
Those burnin' streets, come on
Does the universal cop have a beat?
And the late news breaks early
Did you ever buy that bottle off the street?
And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
Ready to face that dawn with no pity
Come on, yeah, come on
London is burning
Yeah, come on
(London is burning)
Too many guns in this damn town
The supermarket, you gotta duck down
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burning)
Too many guns in this damn town
(London is burning)
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burning)
Too many guns in this damn town
(London is burning)
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burning)
