Playing With Fire lyrics - Crowded House

The chairman's looking out for me

And fortune used to favor me

Lately I've been lying frozen in my bed

Feeling like the end isn't far away

Now some might say

We're losing ground

I've never seen such a thing

Never seen such a thing

To thank your enemy

My wife is wild in quarantine

The chairman's got it in for me

And my brain is getting closer to the edge

But I can't explain that trip to her

Now some might say

We're winding down

I've never seen such a thing

Never seen such a thing

We're playing with fire

And we're playing with fire

And we're playing with fire

And this time, let's all be quiet

The next generation's talking

We're behind the wheel

We're driving straight to the wall

Pretend it's alright

We'll make it in time

Be equal to the fight

Be someone saving lives

When my legs and my arms let go

That's when my hands and my heart say no

We're playing with fire

And this time

And some may say

We'll turn it round

If you believe such a thing

I'll believe such a thing
