Fire On The Mountain

(álbum: Mitakuye Oyasin Oyasin / All My Relations - 1996)

Long distance runner – what you standing there for?
Get up, get out – get out of the door
You're playing cold music on the ballroom floor
Drowned in your laughter – and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches loose on the town
It takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain

Almost ablaze – still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to say on the beat
You say it's a living – we all gotta eat
You're here alone – there no one to compete
If mercy's a business – I wish it were you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true

Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain

Long distance runner – what you holding 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
They more you give – the more it'll take
To the thin line beyond which – you really, you really can't fake

Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – fire on the mountain
