I walk these streets each and every day Trying to find some work just to earn my pay Just to make some plans for you some day But plans don't work and it's not that fine When you've got no money all you've got is time Don't it make you stop and wonder why Sometimes I feel like a man on fire Sometimes I feel like a man possessed Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town I walk these streets each and every night Feel I'm playing my role but it fits too tight Watch my life go by in black and white When times are hard and times are rough Then you better be made of sterner stuff You'll find it's time to stop and wonder why I'm smokin' - I'm burnin' I'm twisting and turning
But one thing I'm learning It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb 'Cos the beat of your heart is the beat of my drum Don't it make you stop and wonder why Sometimes I feel like a man on fire Sometimes I feel like a man possessed Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town Sometimes I feel like a man on fire Sometimes I feel like a man possessed Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town Sometimes I feel like a man on fire Sometimes I feel like a man possessed Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town Sometimes I feel like a man on fire Sometimes I feel like a man possessed I wanna burn down this crazy town
