Fire On the Mountain lyrics

Long distance runner what you standing there for?

Get up, get off, get out of the door

You're playing cold music on the bar room floor,

drowned in your laughter and dead to the core

There's a dragon with matches loose on the town

Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire - Fire On the Mountain

Fire - Fire on the mountain

Almost aflame still you don't feel the heat

Takes all you got just to stay on the beat

You say it's a living, we all gotta eat

but you're here alone there's no one to compete

If mercy's in business I wish it for you

More than just ashes when your dreams come true

Fire - Fire on the mountain

Fire - Fire on the mountain

Long distance runner what you holdin out for?

Caught in slow motion in your dash to the door

The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor

You gave all you got, why you wanta give more?

The more that you give, the more it will take

to the thin line beyond which you really cannot fake

There's a fire

Fire on the mountain
