The Kinks - Wall of Fire lyrics

Standing at the end of the horizon Looking at another setting sun Nature gave us all these toys to play with But we've abused them, each and every one They stretched the chord, snapped the wire Lit the fuse but can't retire We're going to the wall of fire Tip-toeing on the great high wire Let's have a real fire The city slickers built the great illusion Now they're the first to crumble in the sun Now we're going through the wall Let's see the flames before we fall We're going through the wall of fire Let's have a real fire Tip-toeing on the great high wire Through the wall of fire We drove on many rocky roads together Through the storms and hurricanes we rode Unified so no one could destroy us We stretched the bounds But always kept the code Liberals shout and cause concern Forget next week while we all burn Let's run right through the wall of fire Let's have a real fire d**h-defying while the flames grow higher Through the wall of fire Let's go through the wall of fire Running through the wall of fire
