The night was so dark
The street lights were dim
I saw all kinds of fear on their faces
It gave a meaning to the night
The flames were so bright and reached the sky
The pier burnt up and everybody cried
Everybody cried and I got a smile
I just stood there with emptied cans
I saw only shadows and I won't forget
The fire burns in my head
Four walls around
They are keepin' me alive
I got a straightjacket but it still burns inside
I always think about the things burn around
I know their tears cannot put the fire out
The fire burns in my head
