City on fire!
Rats in the grass
And the lunatics yelling in the streets!
It's the end of the world! Yes!
City on fire!
Hunchbacks dancing!
Stirrings in the ground
And the whirring of giant wings!
Watch out! Look!
Blotting out the moonlight
Thick black rain falling on the
City on fire!
City on fire!
City on fire!

Will we be married on Sunday?
That's what you promised
Married on Sunday!
That was last August
Kiss me!

There! Look!
Crawling on the chimneys
Great black crows screeching at the
City on fire!
City on fire!
City on fire!

Toby!
Where are you, love?

Toby!
Where are you, lad?

Nothing's gonna harm you

Toby!

Not while I'm around

Toby!

Where are you hiding?
Nothing's gonna harm you
Darling

Nothing to be afraid of, boy

Not while I'm around

Toby

Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays

Toby

City on fire!
Rats in the streets
And the lunatics yelling at the moon!
It's the end of the world! Yes!

Beadle, Beadle! (Toby)

No good hiding, I saw you!
Are you in there still
Beadle? Beadle?
Get her, but watch it!
She's a wicked one, she'll deceive you
With her fancy gowns
And her fancy airs
And her
Mischief! Mischief!
Devil's work!
Where are you, Beadle?
Beadle?

Rats in the streets
And the lunatics yelling at the moon!
It's the end of the world! Yes!
City on fire!
Hunchbacks kissing!
Stirrings in the graves
And the screaming of giant winds!
Watch out! Look!
Crawling on the chimneys
Great black crows screeching
City on fire!
