Envy & Other Sins - Don't Start Fires lyrics

rate me

Somebody screamed

Last night at the cinema

In a prize winning film

About the Spanish Armada

I, wasn’t in to it anyway

But a girl got enraged

And I wanted to say

Patience

Don’t start fires

Behind the lines, in times of peace

Patience

Don’t start fires

We leave at dawn

So you better pack your suitcase

Full of intricate things that justify you

And don’t ask favours or even questions

Don’t get involved or expect the truth

Patience

Don’t start fires

Behind the lines, in times of peace

When troubles wait like storm clouds

The sun will rise in the east

Oh

Lives march forward

From high park corners

Eyes gaze skyward

And blink

Everyone seems grave and tired

Now I’ve never been a believer

My faith in myself has been put to the test

Nobody dreamed

I’d amount to much anyway

Only time bears the proof

Which is why I say

Patience

Don’t start fires

Behind the lines, in times of peace

Patience

Don’t start fires

Behind the lines, in times of peace

And troubles wait like storm clouds

The sun will rise in the east

So patience

Don’t start fires

Patience

Don’t start fires

Oh patience

Don’t start fires<br />

<br />
