Fire Tonight lyrics

Fire Tonight
-------------------
Information Society

Well, there`s a hot wind blowing tonight in the east,
And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police.
On the radio there`s nothing but a man saying to stay inside.
Well, I remember what you said on the telephone,
That you didn`t feel like it was safe to stay alone.
And you would get yourself to me if you could find a way across the line.

But there`s fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

Well, there`s a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air,
And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare.
On the tv here they`re telling me the roads are all closed down.
You said that if you couldn`t take the car you`d walk instead.
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead.
And now I`m waiting by the window holding all the things of yours I`ve found.

But there`s fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

I know we always said that we were free.
I know we never thought this would succeed.
But now your face is all that I can see.

But there`s fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.
