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 bus'ness, 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 wanna give more? |
|
The more that you give, the more it will take |
|
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake |
