Field of fire

It seems so long ago
I felt so alive
Hear all the shouting
Back in July
It's 79
Oh what a year
Disco vs. rock
A new frontier
I didn’t have a ticket
But the crowds lined up outside
I just didn't know
This would be the day disco died
It was a hot night (so hot)
Field on fire (can't stop)
So much hate (black white)
Us and them (left right)
Can’t escape (gay straight)
Run away (too late)
Disco's dead (rock rules)
Gone forever (all fools)
I was so excited
To see the people dance
Still so sad to me
That we never had the chance
Clapping all around
Upbeat vs. down
Waiting for the twirls and bumps
And that disco sound
But they piled the records high
Clapping offbeat
That's when I recognized
That we were really beat
It was a hot night (so hot)
Field on fire (can't stop)
So much hate (black white)
Us and them (left right)
Can't escape (gay straight)
Run away (too late)
Disco's dead (rock rules)
Gone forever (all fools)
