Between Two Fires Lyrics - Paul Young

The sky doesn't know whether to rain or shine 

Doesn't know whether to laugh or cry 

We stand in the middle looking both ways 

We don't know whether we live or we die, caught between two fires 

And while the fires burn brightly both sides of the sea 

The man in the middle says that he's been had 

Yet they sing "We're safe! We're safe!" to a sweet melody 

And here we are in a world gone bad 

Caught between two fires 

Our history calls us and tells us beware 

There's a lesson to learn in what we did before 

Do we blindly walk on as if we don't care? 

Do we sit here and ask for more? 

Caught between two fires
