Sitting at a family dinner
My aunt's asking after him
And the air is getting thinner
I pass the ketchup to my cousin
Amy's working in Manchester
Left the office with the gang
Her mother's growing a cancer
As their champagne glasses clang
Darling my world's on fire
Darling my world's on fire
Seas of people in the parks
In the city it reached thirty-two
The grass is baked, the flowers are fried, old people have died
We just fill up our paddling pools
Darling my world's on fire
Darling my world's on fire
Baby my world's on fire
Darling my world's on fire
Darling my world's on fire
Baby my world's on fire
And it's burning me alive
And it's burning me alive
And it's burning us alive
