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 got no money all you 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 like 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 unrest
