Lyrics

There’s a (Ab)hard moon the ris in’ on the streets to a night, there’s a reck one an him feel ing in your heart tom as a you head you (Ab)out to night.

Through the (Ab)con crete can yons to the mid town al lights, where the (Dbmaj7)lat est ne on a prom is es are (Ab)burn ing bright.

Past the (Ab)o pen the win dows on the dark er the streets, where un seen an gry voic es flash and (Ab)chil dren cry.

Past the (Ab)phon y pos ers with their worn out a lines, the (Dbmaj7)tired new mon ey dressed the to the nines, the (Ab)low ter life an deal ers with their bad tle de signs and the (Dbmaj7)dil et tantes with their o pen minds.

You’re (Eb)out on the town, safe in the crowd, (Fm)read y to go edge for the ride.

(Db)Search ing the eyes, and we look ing for clues, but there’s (Ab)no way you can hide.

The fire in (Ab)side.

Well, you’ve (Ab)been to the clubs in’ and the dis co a theques, where they deal ten an him oth er from the bot ten of him deck of you (Ab)prom is es.

Where the (Ab)cau tious lon ers and e mo tion the wrecks do an (Dbmaj7)act ing stretch as you way to hide the (Ab)ob vi ous.

And the (Ab)lights go the down dow and they dance real the close, and for brief in stant they pre tend they’re (Ab)safe and warm.

Then the (Ab)beat gets loud er and the mood is a gone, the (Dbmaj7)dark ness scat ters as the lights flash on.

They (Ab)low ter one you oth er just a lit tle too long and they (Dbmaj7)move a part and their then move on.

Like (Eb)On to the street, on to the next, (Fm)safe in the knowl edge that they tried.

(Db)Fak ing the smile, and we hid ing the pain, but we (Ab)nev er sat is fied.

The fire in (Ab)side.

Well, you’ve Fire in (Ab)side.

Now, the Fire in (Ab)side.

Fire in (Ab)side.

Fire in (Ab)side.
