Fire in the City Songtext
von Jackie DeShannon

This is no time to argue
Over what I didn′t do
Yes, I know I'm half-crazy
I could say the same for you
There′s a fire, fire in the city
And I don't care who is to blame
I'll be damned if I′ll stay here
To be buried by the flames

All the love gone between us
And we′re still so far apart
Reachin' for the reason
Would be stumblin′ in the dark

Oh, I could say "I'm sorry"
But what am I sorry for?
I′ve said the words so often
It doesn't mean much any more


This is no time to argue
Over what I didn′t do
Yes, I know I'm half-crazy
I could say the same for you
There's a fire, fire in the city
And I don′t care who is to blame
I′ll be damned if I'll stay here
To be buried by the flames

There you are with your judgement
Like the saint you wanna be
Every word makes me wonder
What you ever saw in me

We both know I′m leavin'
Tell me what else can I do
All I ask you to remember
I′m still in love with you

This is no time to argue
Over what I didn't do
Yes, I know I′m half-crazy
I could say the same for you
There's a fire, fire in the city
And I don't care who is to blame
I′ll be damned if I′ll stay here
To be buried by the flames


Oh, oh, fire, fire in the city
I don't know who is to blame
I′ll be damned, damned if I'll stay here
To be buried by the flame
