House On Fire

This Is Not America


Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Waking up to a house on fire
I'm not the guy that I used to know
Flames keep getting higher and higher
And it's time to go

Those were the days
Of dancing with the Sun and the wind in my hair
Now I have to face
The fact that I was never really there

Now I find myself
Waking up to a house on fire
I'm not the guy that I used to know
Flames keep getting higher and higher
But I can't persuade myself to go

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

What can I do to impress you?
What can I do to get you to myself?
How will I get to your heart dear?
With love or money or drugs or with a knife

Waking up to a house on fire
I'm not the guy that I used to know
Flames keep getting higher and higher
But I can't persuade myself to go

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

For a while
Things were really going my way
Now I realise
I was just being led astray

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Now I find myself
Waking up to a house on fire
I'm not the guy that I used to know
Flames keep getting higher and higher
But I can't persuade myself to go

Waking up to a house on fire
I'm not the guy that I used to know
Flames keep getting higher and higher
But I can't persuade myself to go
