Pyro Sets a Wildfire
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 never meant to trip the minefield hidden here in paradise
(put stink weed in the bouquet)
i never meant to fire a lethal weapon or to terrorize
(put poison in the buffet)
(if) i played my roll as dipolomat
you knew it wasn't just an act
i couldn't stand to stand in back
a faded little wallflower
i've maybe taken too much on
naiveté and youth is gone
but at least the juice is still turned on
i'm dancing on a live wire
i've summoned up a thunder cloud
but i always meant to do you proud
still certain things are not allowed
like setting off a wildfire
wildfire
yeah yeah yeah yeah … uh huh …
i never meant to cut my tender fingers on your angel hair
(put the sawdust in the gas tank)
i never meant to hide tacks in the cushion of your mercy chair
(make a brother walk the gangplank)
(if) i played my roll as diplomat
you knew it wasn't just an act
i couldn't stand to stand in back
a faded little wallflower
i've maybe taken too much on
naiveté and youth is gone
but at least the juice is still turned on
i'm dancing on a live wire
i've summoned up a thunder cloud
but i always meant to do you proud
still certain things are not allowed
like setting off a wildfire
wildfire
i never meant to do you wrong
(i never meant to trip the minefield hidden here in paradise)
i never meant to cause anybody's harm
(i never meant to fire a lethal weapon or to terrorize)
i never meant to cause you any pain
(i never meant to cut my tender fingers on your angel hair)
i never meant to bring you any shame
(i never meant to hide tacks in the cushion of your mercy chair)
(if) i played my roll as diplomat
you knew it wasn't just an act
i couldn't stand to stand in back
a faded little wallflower
i've maybe taken too much on
naiveté and youth is gone
but at least the juice is still turned on
i'm dancing on a live wire
i've summoned up a thunder cloud
but i always meant to do you proud
still certain things are not allowed
like setting off a wildfire
wildfire…
