[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Here come old Joey and he's lookin' mighty fine
Here comes old Tommy, he's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights beaming in the night
Here comes the women, faces shinin' from the light
All through the shadows
They come and they go
[Chorus]
Oh, we got one thing in common
We got the fire down below
[Verse 2]
Well now, here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man tryin' to make his money green
There goes the banker, the lawyer and the cops
One thing for certain, it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and they go
[Chorus]
We got one thing in common
We got the fire down below, oh, keep on burnin'
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Burning, we're burning
Burning, we're burning
Burning, we're burning
[Bridge]
Well now, it happens in Vegas, it happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley and out in Queens
Went on yesterday and it's goin' on tonight
Somewhere somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
[Verse 3]
And he'll be lookin' out for Johnny, he's lookin' mighty fine
Walkin' the streets for Annie and he'll find her every time
When the street lights flicker, bringin' in the night
We'll be slippin' into darkness, slippin' out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
[Chorus]
We got one thing in common
We got the fire down below (Yeah)
We got one thing in common
We got the fire down below ([?])
We got one thing in common
We're in the fire down below
[Post-Chorus]
And it's burnin', burnin', oh
[Outro]
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Keep on burnin', burnin'
Tell you we're (Gotta keep on) burnin', hot!
We're burnin', burnin'
And we're burnin', burnin'
And we're burnin', don't you know we're burnin'?
You got to know we're burnin', got to know we're burnin'
We're burnin' (Ow) burnin'
Burnin' (Ooh), burnin'
