GRATEFUL DEAD - Fire On The Mountain lyrics
rate meLong distance runner, what you standin' there for? <br>Get up, get out, get out of the door<br>Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor<br>Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.<br>There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town<br>Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.<br><br>Fire! fire on the mountain!<br><br>Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat<br>It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.<br>You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat<br>But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.<br>If mercy's a bus'ness, I wish it for you<br>More than just ashes when your dreams come true.<br><br>Fire! fire on the mountain!<br><br>Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for? <br>Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.<br>The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor<br>You gave all you had. why you wanna give more? <br>The more that you give, the more it will take<br>To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.<br><br>Fire! fire on the mountain!
