What Fire Lyrics

What fire is about to

Put it in the terms that I can understand?

What fire is about to

Get me into bed and issue a command?

Away on the back of a joke,

And into the haze of the hovering smoke.

Into a sodium glow,

Away is the way that it's wanting me go.

It can't wrap its head around the notion.

It pulls me into its lungs,

Away from the songs that my family'd sung.

I'm gonna drive my car into the ocean

And let my love stay young.

What fire is the culprit I ought to blame?

What fire will not rest 'till it knows my name?

What fire will reveal every secret I keep?

What fire is ascending the walls as I sleep?

What fire is ascending the walls as I sleep?

Into the shape of a pill

To relieve the pain in your scarred-up lungs

Because I love you so and I always will.

It is baffled by complex emotion.

It doesn't understand intense devotion.

I'm gonna ride my horse into the ocean

And let my love stay young.

What fire is about to put it in the language I was meant to hear?

What fire is to slip into the spaces eaten by the fear?

What fire is the culprit I ought to blame?

What fire will not rest 'till it knows my name?

What fire will reveal every secret I keep?

What fire is ascending the walls as I sleep?

I will think of you with fondness from my station in the deep.
