[00:48.52]The future's under fire
[00:51.74]The past is gaining ground
[00:54.15]A continuous cold war between
[00:56.96]My home and my hometown
[00:58.98]I was destined to die dreaming
[01:02.35]When one day, my best friend
[01:04.92]With passion and pure provocation
[01:08.12]Summoned me and said
[01:10.1]"You can't condemn your love
[01:12.82]To linger here and die
[01:15.40]Can't leave your dreams to chance
[01:17.30]Or to a spirit in the sky
[01:19.25]May your heart always be ardent
[01:23.30]Your conscience always clear
[01:25.50]And succumb to the city and surrender, baby
[01:27.84]I'll be waiting here"
[01:30.6]And it got me all fired up
[01:33.15]To go far away
[01:36.1]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[01:39.71](Oh oh, oh oh)
[01:41.6]And it got me all fired up
[01:43.59]To go far away
[01:47.41]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[01:50.55](Oh oh, oh oh)
[01:52.56]So I left my home
[01:55.22]And all I had
[01:58.7]I used to be good but now I'm bad
[02:10.57]It was last call at my local
[02:13.5]And I stalled saying goodbye
[02:15.42]So the girl behind the bar came over
[02:18.75]And she took me aside
[02:20.32]She kissed me like a chorus, said
[02:24.56]Give 'em hell for us
[02:26.27]The last drink of the night, last night in town
[02:29.21]Baby, this one is on the house”
[02:31.39]And it got me all fired up
[02:33.89]To go far away
[02:37.15]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[02:39.76](Oh oh, oh oh)
[02:41.53]And it got me all fired up
[02:44.56]To go far away
[02:48.2]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[02:51.3](Oh oh, oh oh)
[02:52.99]So I left my home
[02:56.9]And all I had
[02:59.1]I used to be good but now I'm bad
[03:22.5]It was bedlam in my bed that night
[03:25.42]And like a silent scream
[03:27.70]My body broke out in a sweat
[03:30.73]From seeing you in dreams
[03:33.1]You called out to me
[03:35.40]I sang back to you
[03:38.4]And all I remember was the sound of it being
[03:40.96]Like all hell breaking loose
[03:46.63]And it got me all fired up
[03:47.66]To go far away
[03:51.4]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[03:53.68](Oh oh, oh oh)
[03:56.88]And it got me all fired up
[04:00.82]To go far away
[04:03.67]And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
[04:08.47](Oh oh, oh oh)
[04:09.40]So I left my home
[04:11.87]And all I had
[04:13.70]I used to be good but now I'm bad

The future's under fire
The past is gaining ground
A continuous cold war between

May your heart always be ardent
Your conscience always clear

To go far away
And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby
(Oh oh, oh oh)
And it got me all fired up

(Oh oh, oh oh)

And all I had
