WORLD'S ON FIRE, (2nd version) from the special and great movie LIGHT SLEEPER

music, soundtrack, song by Michael Been (The Call)

OBS! Please, do yourself a favour and listen to the other version of this song (same title).
That version is far more better, louder and so much more powerful to listen to.

This muted version you're listening to now, is...I guess....recorded directly from the movie, as we hear the voice of William Dafoe, talking, in the end.

Light Sleeper is a 1992 American crime drama film written and directed by Paul Schrader and starring Willem Dafoe, Susan Sarandon, and Dana Delany. Set in New York City, the film shows the tragic events following the encounter of a 40-year-old drug dealer and his former girlfriend.

WORLD'S ON FIRE

I feel this deep down tremblin'
In the earth 'neath my feet
That shakes the great foundations
I awake from my sleep
I trust my life to providence
I trust my soul to grace
But nothing takes away the pain
I can't forget your face

And it feels
Like the world's one fire

Somewhere in this fascinating
Shell of blood and bone
I struggle through the day-to-day
I brace against the storm
Thoughts of you pursue me
Like an overwhelming tide
Something in the air tonight
It would do no good to hide

'Cause it feels
Like the world's one fire
Yes it feels
Like the world's one fire

Night after night
The fever it burns
Night after night
The fever it turns

I deprive myself the feeling
Both a blessing and a curse
Love that can't be likened
To a single thing on earth
Maybe I'll feel better
When the storm inside has passed
Maybe I'll feel better
When I see your face at last

'Til then
I think the world's on fire
'Til then
I think the world's on fire

Yes it feels
Like the world's on fire
Yes it feels
Like the world's on fire
