London Is Burning Lyrics

London is burning

The sky's painted black

My stomach is turning and I'm certain what I lack

Is any sign of emotion

Or a trick up my sleeve

It's poetry in motion for an ocean full of grief

So dive right in with me

Into my sea of apathy

It's a sickness I can't shake

It's a love I can't escape

London is burning

And there's no turning back

'Cause now I've fucked up and she hates my guts

And we're just too young to be giving up

So dive right in with me

Into my sea of apathy

It's a sickness I can't shake

It's a spell that I can't break

London is burning

But it's all in my head

I've got a wry smile and pervasive sense of dread

So London is burning

The smoke fills my lungs

It tastes like fresh air and a summer breeze

Like a cold front from the Seven Seas

So dive right in with me

Into my sea of apathy

It's a sickness I can't shake

It's your love I cannot take
