pere ubu - fire lyrics
last night the river went calling.
like a train that jumps the tracks –
how it roared thru the night like a vow to never go
back.
we never knew peace.
will we never know peace?
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin, man, it won’t last!
last night the river went calling.
how it pushed thru the awful black!
boats of gold hanging by their fiery stacks.
i heard the rivermen cry, we will never know peace.
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin, man, it won’t last.
see the fire and smoke spittin fire and sparks.
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin, man, it won’t last.
last night i dreamed i was falling.
where do we go, i said to myself,
if i call your name and you answer crying?
we never knew peace.
will we never know peace?
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin, see the fire and sparks spitting
fire and sparks.
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin…
people p-ss sayin, see the fire and smoke spitting fire
and sparks.
are we like a house made of dry gr-ss?
people p-ss sayin, it won’t last.
