Lyrics
Sally?s Room

Sally?s room is on fire,
I can feel it through the wall.
Sally?s room, it is burnin?,
She?s got a lighter that won?t quit.
Go, Sally, turn away from the fall.
It?s the summer of your life, so don?t give this up at all.
There have been a few devils,
They have tried to steal your flame.
Was it the light, or the power,
They thought they could take from you?
No matter how hard the rain comes down,
It?s the summer of your life, and this is no time to drown.
Na na na....
Sally?s room is on fire,
I can feel it purify,
If she gives it away it cannot be stolen,
See her rise from the ashes.
Go, Sally, turn away from the fall.
It?s the summer of your life, so don?t give this up at all,
It?s the summer of your life, so don?t give this up at all............
