Fire in the Blues Lyrics

I heard the siren wail

In the dead of night

Thought the flames would blaze

Oh how they would ignite

But down the road they flew

Those engines red as rust

Not to fight a fire

But to quench the dust

Firetrucks are watertrucks

Sprayin' all around

Coolin' all the heat

But not a flame to be found

Streets so dry and cracked

Underneath the moon

Hoses dance like snakes

In a watery tune

But the blues stay burnin' deep inside

No water can douse this pain

Fire's gone

But the hurt can't hide

Oh the heart's in a constant flame

Firetrucks are watertrucks

Sprayin' all around

Coolin' all the heat

But not a flame to be found

Streets so dry and cracked

Underneath the moon

Hoses dance like snakes

In a watery tune

Streets so dry and cracked

Underneath the moon

Hoses dance like snakes

In a watery tune

But the blues stay burnin' deep inside

No water can douse this pain

Fire's gone

But the hurt can't hide

Oh the heart's in a constant flame

Firetrucks are watertrucks

Sprayin' all around

Coolin' all the heat

But not a flame to be found
