They were eating at home, they were walking aloneThey were watching the Stones on the videoAll the kids in the street, all the people you meetAll the flowers and beads in the gutter.Yellow cabs on the run, no one carries a gunFolks were having some fun at a partySomeone loved at first sight, teacher said he was rightAnd they dreamed of the night, they were dreaming.And the day came and the day was nightAnd the sky had gone and the ground was brightThen you heard them shout, then you heard them cryIt's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire, yes I knowIt's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire.All the time that it took, all the best things to lookAll the music and sight they were drainin'When it came to the day, all the skies that were greyWhen they thought of the night, they were burnin'.And the day came and the day was nightAnd the sky had gone and the ground was brightThen you heard them shout, then you heard them cryIt's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire (yes I know)It's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire, ah, ahIt's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire, yes I knowIt's the big fire, my soul, it's the big fire.It's the big fire, my soul, it's the big big fire, yes I knowIt's the big fire.
