Lyrics

Why On Fire?

[Chorus]

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?

[Verse 1]

There's a chance for me to run

And to be free

But I'm scared, can't move my arms

Can't move my feet

As it all gets too much

It's too intense

If I'd ran, I'd clear the field

But not the fence

[Chorus]

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?

[Verse 2]

There's a chance for me to run

And to be free

But I'm scared, can't move my arms

Can't move my feet

[Chorus]

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?

Why? Why on fire?

Why on fire?
