Fire On The Skyline Lyrics

There’s a fire down at the crossroads
The flames are burning idles
All the peoples of the Township are screaming for their rivals
Fire on the Skyline

Fire on the Skyline
They’ve been cut off from the mainland
Oh the Street drags in the hand[?]
There is no one there to converse with
Their feet are stuck in the sand
Fire on the Skyline

Fire on the Skyline
They really don’t know
But it is going to show that they’re burning
They really don’t know
But it is going to show that they’re burning

There’s a fire down at the crossroads
The flames are burning idles
All the peoples of the Township are screaming for their rivals
Fire on the Skyline
They really don’t know
But it is going to show that they’re burning
They really don’t know
But it is going to show that they’re burning
They really don’t know
But it is going to show that they’re burning

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
