Paroles: Elvis Costello. Other. Fire Suite 1.


(Music: Roy Nathanson; Lyrics: Ray Dobbins, R. Nathanson)

I remember that dance
On the roof of my car
When St. Lucy's mad torch
Took away our best bar

Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the heat
Came the fire

Ember glow lagered ash
I was pissed as a fart
Stricken some dumb plum numb
We was broken at heart

Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the light
Came the fire
