lyrics

While the world burns Ukulele version

Some people say the end is near
and some say that it's already here.
But I won't feel the slightest fear,
if my arms are full of you.

Maybe we will suffocate
in poison fumes and clouds of hate
but I won't care about my fate
If my arms are full of you.

I just want to hold you while the world burns
I just want to hold you while the world burns

Let it burn… burn… burn…

Crushed by the oceans mighty waves
or ripped apart by robotic slaves
I won't mind the crowded graves
if my arms are full of you…

Burned alive by bitter ash
or a supernovas blinding flash,
I won't feel that biting lash,
if my arms are full of you…

I just want to hold you while the world burns
I just want to hold you while the world burns
Let it burn… burn… burn…

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

I just want to hold you while the world burns
I just want to hold you while the world burns

His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
