Lyrics
Fire Suite 1
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I remember that dance
On the roof of my car
When St. Lucy's mad torch
Took away our best bar
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the heat
Came the fire
Ember glow lagered ash
I was pissed as a fart
Stricken some dumb plum numb
We was broken at heart
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the light
Came the fire
