when I woke up this moring I thought that I was dead there were flames all around me and brkimstone neath my bed well I knew I wasn't dreaming 'cause the evidence was plain and the radio said, stay in bed it's gonna rain, rain, rain so I took myself a walking up and down the streets I saw people wearing rain coats smoke was steaming round their feet well the Celestine Propecies might have something yet I say this ain't livin' it's as crazy a it gets this ain't livin' not with your eyes closed this ain't livin' this is how it goes your souls are trembling on a hot high wire look out the world's on fire well it's not what they're saying it's how it's said and it's not about justice baby it's about bread don't call it dreaming call it believing save your hide and take a ride on the next train leaving this ain't livin' not with your eyes closed this ain't livin' this is how it goes your souls are trembling on the hot high wire look out the world's on fire this ain't livin' not with your eyes closed this ain't livin' this is how it goes your souls are trembling on the hot high wire look out the world's on fire
