The city burns and burns
People on the run
I stand still and watch
Forever on
I sit and wait and wait
The stars are all gone
I face the flames and say
What have i done
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Tonight
My whole place is gone
Memories turn to ash
Someone sings a song
Pollution is like cash
Money seems to drive you wild
You're in a state of shock
Have you tried to save your child
Fire's on the block
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Tonight
I sit and wait and wait
The stars are all gone
I face the flames and say
What have i done
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Mama hold me tight
The gates of hell close tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
