Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eyes boring a way to me
Paralyze, controlling completely
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns
[Verse 2]
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn it, I'll burn it, I, I, I'll burn it down
[Verse 3]
Eyes burning a way through me
Overwhelm, destroying so sweetly
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns
[Verse 4]
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
We're gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control and I burn
I'm out of control and I burn
[Verse 5]
Oh, how I burn for you
Burn, oh, how I burn for you
Burn, how I burn
How I burn, oh, how I
[Chorus]
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn this city, burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm gonna burn it, I'll burn it, I, I, I'll burn it down
