He's just a kid, he wants a ride |
|
They took his ears, they took his eyes |
|
They said a ride is never free |
|
He couldn't hear, he couldn't see |
|
Well, there are things that have to die |
|
So other things can stay alive |
|
The fire burns, it burns to give |
|
It has to burn a life to live |
|
The elder men spoke low |
|
They took a vote and said no |
|
They turned around real slow |
|
Where did they go, where did they go? |
|
And the question, oh the question |
|
Can the kid keep his eyes |
|
If the fire doesn't die, say nooooooooooooo |
|
I said nooooooooooooo |
|
I said, "You don't know what king we serve, boy, Oh you don't know what things we employ!" |
|
The elder men spoke low |
|
They took a vote and said no |
|
They turned around real slow |
|
Where did they go, where did they go? |
|
Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum |
|
Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, Ba-da-da |
|
And the question, oh the question |
|
Can the kid keep his eyes? |
|
If the fire doesn't die |
|
Can the kid keep his eyes? |
|
Oh the question, oh the question |
|
Can the kid keep his eyes? |
|
If the fire doesn't die |
|
I said, be careful what you wish for |
|
Oh be careful what you wish for |
|
And be careful 'round the fire light |
|
And be careful 'round the bright, bright lights |
|
Cause the fire never dies so the kid lost his eyes |
|
Oh, that's how it goes, baby, that's how it goes, baby |
|
That's how it goes, baby, that's how it goes |
