Skies on Fire
AC/DC · Black Ice [2008]
Won't you back up
Will you pack up and head for higher ground
I know you and, you know me
Tell me what it is you want it to be
What you want to be
What you need in me
Hey hey hey
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Flames get higher
I know you, now you know me
Tell me what it is you want it to be
In the rain, in the streets
You're amazed by all the things that you see
Tell me what I see, how's it got to be
Yeah yeah yeah
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Flames burn higher
Hey you look in the sky, skies on fire
Look in the sky, flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Flames get higher
Skies on fire
I know you and you know me
Tell me what is it you want to be
Flames burn higher
Skies on fire
Skies on Fire
