Fire

Lyrics for Fire

Dry fuel for fire Lines wide open Bone sky for miles Filter's overloaded The season came and went again Spend, retract, my time is fleeting Fleeting Red embers flow Above the front yard Yeah, there's a chance We're out of chances, darling I really thought I'd learn a lot The years go by and I'm still reeling Reeling Watch the hills, the flames burning higher Give it back, your home is your pyre If I don't care, she's taking it all away So arm the kids and arm their teacher Please prime the altar Let the preachers at it I had a friend who went to war He got him home but he's still bleeding Bleeding Give me shapeless beauty and glory The blue sunroom tells me a story 'Bout the time a fool fell in love again Take my strength and take my ambition Take my hand and burn my contrition I'm the fool who's falling in love again Give me power, grant me omission Keep me level, give me your secret To free yourself from falling away again Watch the hills, the flames climbing higher Give it back, your home is your pyre If I don't care, she's taking it all away
