Well it's a high afternoon Looking down at the city And my ain't it pretty Just look at them lights And as the sun sits still And we spin around it It's just the way we found it As we slip into the night And somebody's baby She been graced by the sun But she's pale as the moonlight And she's having her fun Fire in the darkness As the deal goes down In somebody's bedroom She's loosing her crown And there ain't no answer Ain't it nice so nice Don't you get so tired of looking Feel the weight upon your eyes And there ain't no burden Except your own damned mind You got to get high and fly back home So we can have a good time I went down to the river And my body went under It was cold on the bottom Where the sun never shines And I rose to the top And my skin felt warm I got a brand new start A brand new heart And a brand new mind And somebody's baby In a far away town Is born to a mother With a little bitty crown Fire in the darkness As my thoughts give in To the place I was born The place I will die And the world I live in
