Sitting in my skyscraper
Watching the world burn
Just sitting here, untouched
On the flaming globe I earned
I sit back in my skyscraper
Pull the blinds and shut my eyes
I think of what is left
In the world that I despise
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Reaching far and wide
And they're faster and they're hotter
Than your mail-order bride
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Taller than you'd think
And they'll burn you to a golden crisp
Before you've time to blink
High up in my skyscraper
I know the outcome’s wrong
And it never would’ve come to this
If the world all got along
I know I’ve earned this skyscraper
Because it’s the slowest death
Yes, I’ve earned the prolonged agony
And I’ll wait for my last breath
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Reaching far and wide
And they're faster and they're hotter
Than your mail-order bride
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Taller than you'd think
And they'll burn you to a golden crisp
Before you've time to blink
Sitting in my skyscraper
Watching as I burn
I sit here as I’m touched
By the flaming death I’ve earned
The flames consume my skyscraper
I’m falling from the skies
And I’m all that is left
In the world that I despise
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Reaching far and wide
And they're faster and they're hotter
Than your mail-order bride
Oh, yes! The flames are coming
Taller than you'd think
And they'll burn you to a golden crisp
Before you've time to blink
