Hey, oh yeah, yeah
The sky is burnin', I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I'm learnin', the key to my desire

Waitin' for the van to arrive
Prisoners were lined up outside
Jumped a wall, hitched a ride, now I'm here to stay
I love you, baby, anyway, yeah

The sky is burnin', I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I'm learnin', the key to my desire

Well, I ran across the country fields in all the rain
They had guns and dogs and everything
I swam the river tryin' to lose my trail
But they caught me under the bridge, oh yeah, yeah

The sky is burnin', I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I am learnin', the key to my desire, yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Now the sky is burnin', I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I am learnin', the key to my desire, yeah

The judge said, "This man's a danger to humanity
We're gonna lock him up and throw away the key"
Now baby, your love has sent me to jail
But I'd rather die than see you with another man

See you with another man, baby, oh, oh yeah
See it's burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', ohh

I'm workin' on the chain gang, yeah, everyday, well
But they can't keep me here and I'm not gonna stay
Got to get out of this place, oh, to see my baby

See it's burnin', oh yeah
See it's burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin'
See it's burnin', yeah
My soul's on fire, my soul's on fire
