City Boy - The Day The Earth Caught Fire Lyrics
The day the Earth caught fireWe stood outside the world was laughingAnd in the city squareThey cast umbrellas to the skyThe sun above my head was burning greedy redThe horns began to blow "Three Cheers for jericho"The first evacueeI was headed for the sea, I saw themThe roadside refugeesThe boys with bloody knees who wavedAbandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away"A World in Flames Today" was all the papershad to sayRun for your life (The Earth's caught fire)Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)Run, run, runRun for your life (The Earth's on fire)Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)Run, run, runThe streetcar prophet said,"You thought that God was dead-I warned youThe sinners and the savedThey fell down to their knees and prayedBelievers held their breath and stoned a witch to deathThe leaders and the led said "Blow the bloodyReds away!"Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)Run, run, runRun for your life (The Earth's on fire)Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)Run. run, run
