about

The new single from the band Alphanaut

lyrics

Mamma won't you sing to me
We're waking up to world war three
I hear your song sung in reprise
And see the love within your eyes

But its just tick, tick, tick of the automat
A serenade that's falling flat
Taken down to comfort me
You understand, you understand

That the world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire

My heart fills up with consequence
None of the news is making sense
A whisper and a ricochet
Where my childhood used to play

But its just click, click, click of a selfie smile
To impress the rank and file
Opinions from an easy chair
Never get us anywhere

Its just the world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire

Mamma won't you, mamma won't you
Mamma won't you sing to me

Because the world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire, and we're just dancing
The world is on fire
