City on Fire!

City on fire!
Rats in the grass
And the lunatics yelling in the streets!
It's the end of the world! Yes!
City on fire!
Hunchbacks dancing!
Stirrings in the ground
And the whirring of giant wings!
Watch out!
Look!
Blotting out the moonlight
Thick black rain falling on the
City on fire!
City on fire!
City on fire!

Will we be married on Sunday?
That's what you promised
Married on Sunday!
That was last August
Kiss me!

There! Look!
Crawling down the chimneys
Great black crows screeching at the
City on fire!
City on fire!
City on fire!

Toby! Where are you, love? (Toby, where are you lad?)
Nothing's gonna harm you (Toby)
Not while I'm around (Toby)
Where are you hiding?
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling

Nothing to be afraid of, boy!

Not while I'm around ...

Toby

Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays

Toby

City on fire
Rats in the streets
And the lunatics yelling at the moon! (City on fire!)
It's the end of the world! Yes! (Rats in the streets)

Beadle! Beadle!
No good hiding, I saw you
Are you in there still?
Beadle, Beadle
Get her, but watch it!
She's a wicked one
She'll deceive you
With her fancy gowns
And her fancy airs
And her mischief, mischief!
Devil's work!
Where are you, Beadle?
Beadle?

Rats in the streets
And the lunatics yelling in the roads
It's the end of the world, yes!
City on fire!
End of the world, yes (City on fire!)
And the lunatics yelling at the moon (City on fire!)
Watch out! Look! (Crawling up the chimneys)
Great black crows screeching at the
City on fire!
