Each night we'd fall in love
To wake up, give up
The more we have and all we had to waste
I call to the snow
I need your hand to hold
To get me through the stage of life you know

We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire to keep burning on

You're too hard for you to cry
You wanna live but you wanna die
'Cos all your cuts are always hard, empty
I know we don't do much
We got no money to do things such as
Go away on a holiday that's out of town

We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire to keep burning on
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire burning on

To keep burning, keep burning, yeah
Ah, to keep burning, keep burning, keep burning

You phone on your way home
I can tell you've got a bone to pick with me
About the way we are
I've got a horrible feeling
It's such a horrible feeling
You and me, we're not going to last the night

We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire burning on
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire burning on

To keep burning, keep burning, keep burning, yeah
To keep burning, keep burning, keep burning, yeah
To keep burning
Ah, to keep burning

We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire
We've gotta keep this fire to keep burning on
Ah, to keep burning
