After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The heart grows older but never ever learns.
|
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns,
|
After the fire the fire still burns.
|
|
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
|
And then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tire
|
And then the sound of Brixton gun and the scream of a child.
|
The night is hot
|
But nothing's going to stop
|
This gang running wild.
|
|
After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The heart grows older but never ever learns.
|
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns,
|
After the fire the fire still burns.
|
|
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
|
There ain't no color in memories.
|
He rode his brother's Harley across the TV
|
While I was laughing at Dom DeLuise.
|
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking.
|
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking,
|
I've gotta stop smoking.
|
|
After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The heart grows older but never ever learns.
|
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns,
|
After the fire
|
The fire still burns, raging through the pain,
|
Blackening the promises, the tears and the rain.
|
The fire will burn
|
'til the wind begins to turn
|
And it all begins again.
|
After the fireeeee...Yea the fire still burns
|
|
After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The heart grows older but never ever learns.
|
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns,
|
After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The fire still burns,
|
After the fire the fire still burns,
|
The heart grows older but never ever learns.
|
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns,
|
After the fire the fire still burns.
