[Verse 1]
I'm in love with the city
All the girls are so pretty
Got a feeling I won't be home tonight
I'm in love with the nighttime
'Cause the nighttime's the right time
I'm looking good, let me spend a little love on you
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
The cities on fire
[Verse 2]
Waking up for a new day
I'm feeling tired, but it's okay
Who cares when you do what you did last night?
I spend my day making music
I earn a buck, but hell, I could use it
On the street, feel the heat of the city light
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
The cities on fire
[Bridge]
Get ready, shoot at the town tonight
Paint it red with the blood from my heart
This is living, this is hoping
This is life, so listen to the band, listen to the band
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
The cities on fire
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
Uh-oh, uh-oh, burn it up, burn it up
Uh-oh, cities on fire
The cities on fire
[Outro]
I'm in love with the city
All the girls are so pretty
Got a feeling I won't be home tonight
I'm in love with the nighttime
'Cause the nighttime's the right time
I'm looking good, let me spend a little love on you
