Waking up on a Saturday with nothing to do but make a fun song. Every toddler who has heard it likes to dance to it.

lyrics

It’s hard to get to sleep when you’re on fire
Hard to get to sleep when you’re on fire
The problem with burnin’ when you’re tired
It’s the problem with burning when you’re tired
Smoldering skin and the blood boiling within
It’s hot now
It’s hot

It’s hard to dance when you’re sitting on a wire
Hard to dance while I’m sitting on a wire
You got arms for wings you’re not a flier
Those aren’t wings you got you’re not a flier
Fall to the ground with the sky all around
You drop now
You drop
