An Urban Campfire

It's an urban campfire
Up 'til late at night
There ain't too many stars in here
Too many apartment lights
Ain't much silence either
Just traffic noise and laughter
And tall tales and neighbourhood gossip
Depends what you're after
Oh oh oh, it's an urban campfire

It's an urban barbie
Burnin' wood in the backyard
I hope the neighbours don't mind the smoke
With their asthma it could be hard
Chattin' with friends from down the street
'Bout what's been going on
Like the highrise council just approved
And why it seems so wrong
Oh oh oh, it's an urban campfire

Sittin' around eatin' and drinkin'
As we watch the embers glow
And chattin' about the police drug raid
And how the crime just grows
And have you met the new neighbours
Who walk that angry beagle
And leave it barking while we work from home
I really don't think it's legal
Oh oh oh oh oh, it's an urban campfire

It's an urban campfire
