 I signed aboard  some sea ships
 Just to see the ocean  roll
 I flew the clouds  and airplanes
 Just to satisfy my  soul
 Up in that big blue  heaven
 My hopes can freely  roam
 I will build my sundried  brick wall
 Where my soul can feel  at home
 with riffs)
 My angel, my  darling
 When that atom bomb  does come
 Let me be your  pillow
 While this world’s  on fire
 Wildfire will run  crawling
 While the walls will come  falling
 Lay your head  down
 While the world’s on  fire
 with riffs)
 When the flames go  creeping
 When the smoke plume is  leaping
 We’ll play like we’re  sleeping
 When the world’s on  fire
 While the skies they are  clearing
 We’ll rise up  dreaming
 Build our cities from the  ashes
 Where the world was on  fire
 with riffs)
 My angel, my  darling
 When that atom bomb  does come
 Let me be your  pillow
 While this world’s  on fire
