Lupe Fiasco, Matthew Santos - Streets on Fire lyrics

Tonight, tonight, tonight
The stars are aligned
And the planets colliding
The plan is arriving
And she's out there smiling
The fear is upon us
The skies tried to warn us
The parents are goners
No children to mourn us
It's driving me crazy, this war is my lady
We've lost all our babies, and God is amazing
The tick of the timer, the slip of the rhymer
The pimp and the riser
Your cross, there you'll find her hey, hey

Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight

Disease, the virus is spreading
In all directions
No safe zone no cure and no protection
No symptoms define the signs of an infection
No vaccines, remedies, and no corrections
Quarantine the dreams and seal
Off the connections
Don't let them in, not a friend
Not a reflection
Everybody's got it and want you
To have it next and
Don't accept them if you want
To stay as an exception
No pill can heal the ill of this
Sickness, some are still in
Doubt of it's existence
Some call it forgiveness and some
Call it the vengeance
Some say it's an exit and
Some say it's an entrance
The poor say the rich have the cure
The rich say the poor are the source
Revolutionaries say it's psychological war
Invented by the press
Just to have something to report
Some say the first case came
From a maternity ward
Some say a morgue, some say the skies
Some say the floors
Whores say the nuns, nuns say the whores
And everybody is sure
The scientist say it only affects the mind
The little boy said it only affects the girls
The preacher man said it's going
To kill off the soul
A bum said it's gonna kill
The whole wide world

Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight

"Believe!", so say the neon signs by the
Loudspeakers repeating that everything
Is fine a subtle solace to demolish
The troubled conscience
Of a populace with no knowledge
And every freedom denied
Every dream is designed and broadcasted
From the masters to the masses
From the antennas on the top of the shrines
Refine the receiver and plant it
During the panic and short it
It reports back
Everything in your mind, everything is lying
Everything is dying, everything is a rule
Everything is a crime
Everything was here then
Everything rewind the new
Weather burned the feathers
Off everything flying
(And she likes it, and she loves it)
The sadness, the madness, the bad shit
The lavish, the fastest, the clashes
The ashes to ashes everything intertwined
My femme fatale my darling fraudulent angel
Once caught her changing the
Batteries in her halo
Receipt for her wings and everything
That she paid for
And the address to the factory
Where they made those
Scientist said she's all inside my mind
The little boy said "What happened
To all the girls?"
The preacher man said "She's going
To kill off your soul"
The dope boy said "It's the whole wide world"

Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
