The Mountain Goats - Fire Editorial lyrics

rate me

Too blinded in Detroit! Somethin' must be done

Jaws droppin' at ringside in the blood tide

When the fireball hits

Down Indiana way, make them check their guns

Real tears when it's ova, smell the sulfur

When the dark vault splits

Lord of the hidden pocket knife

Tawdry dreams all come to life

Save yoselves, save this town

Save everythin' not nailed down

War in Ontario! Dead befo' the bell

Crushed hopes of the young breed

All the best bleed, all the proud boys break

Who will stand befo' the flood?

Who will mop up all the blood?

Who's alone?! Skin, bone, steel, stone

Swim or drown, save this town

Save everythin' not nailed down
