Fire In The City Lyrics - Beauty & Ruin - Bob Mould

Airplanes flying overhead 

While I toss and turn in bed 

A life in disarray 

Crumbling ground 

Tumbling down 

Run to the sound 

Of a fire in the city 

A sudden jolt, I'm wide awake 

Bolting for the door I take 

A couple things I thought were precious to me 

Crumbling ground 

Tumbling down 

Run to the sound 

Of a fire in the city 

And as I gather up my sins 

The ashes, they roll in 

My ascension has begun 

Crumbling ground 

Tumbling down 

Run to the sound 

Of a fire in the city 

As the flames begin to rise 

(Burning ground) 

I see the life I left behind 

(Don't turn around) 

Constellations in the sky 

Constellations, the goodbye 

I don't wanna go 

Crumbling ground 

Tumbling down 

Run to the sound 

Of a fire in the city
