Chase The Fire

(Album: Walkabout - 1986)

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines

There was a time when my mind was made up by you
Is this a deja vu or am I just missing you
I've been here before and lived to the thrill of it all
And I might be in the dark but I'm watching you

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat

Your look was all it took
To get me hooked on you
My eyes were closed
But now I'm watching you

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat
You chase the fire, you chase...

You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines

There was a time when my lines
Were made up by you.
Is this a web of lies,
Or am I just seeing through

You chase the fire,
But you can't take the heat
You slay the lion,
But you won't taste the meat
I've been here before
And lived through the thrill of it all
You chase the fire
You chase the fire
