Fire In The Twilight Lyrics
Wang Chung
Lyrics
Hot on the run from the grip of the power game
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way
Shell in it? s box from his home that they? ll never tame
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way
He is burning, burning in the twilight
He is burning, turning to face us, he is burning, fire in the twilight
He is burning, turning to lead us away, away, away
Lead us away, away, away
Taking a break from the role of the everyday boy
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way
Is he for real or is he back to the old way boy
Can he lead the way, oh can he lead the way?
He? s searching, but he? s lonely, and he? s hurting, but he? s only
Waiting for a chance just in time to live a life
Does he need ya, does he want ya? Does he listen to what you say?
Is he only waiting for the simple way?
He is burning, burning in the twilight
He is burning, turning to face us, he is burning, fire in the twilight
He is burning, turning to lead us away, away, away
Lead us away, away, away
