Long distance runner what you standin' there for
B A
Get up get up get out of the door
B A
Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor
B A
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
B A
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
B A
Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire Fire on the mountain

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

Fire Fire on the mountain

Long distance runner what you holdin' 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
The more that you give the more it will take
Till the thin line beyond which you really can't fake

Fire Fire on the mountain
