Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
|
Get up, get out, get out of the door
|
Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor
|
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.
|
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
|
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.
|
|
Fire! fire on the mountain!
|
|
Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat
|
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.
|
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
|
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.
|
If mercy's a business, i wish it for you
|
More than just ashes when your dreams come true.
|
|
Fire! fire on the mountain!
|
|
Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
|
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.
|
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
|
You gave all you had. why you want to give more?
|
The more that you give, the more it will take
|
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
|
|
Fire! fire on the mountain!
