lyrics
Fight Fire With Fire?
V1
As I walk out this morning
I can feel the planet turn
And the seeds beneath me
Burst through the trembling clay
I see that look across your face
Like clouds behind the sun
And that’s OK
It’s a perfect day
Chorus1
But I wanna know
Should we fight fire with fire my love?
Should we build the flames up higher, my love?
Or should we let it go?
I wanna know.
V2
As we lay down this evening
I dream of Neverland
And the kids are lonely
They have no mind for play
Yen and dollars above our heads
Spinning cartwheels ‘cross the sky
On silent rays
Just like yesterday
Chorus2
So I wanna know
Should we fight fire with fire, my love?
Do we build the flames up higher, my love?
Or do we just let it go?
I wanna know
Bridge
Cos there’s a sound running though my head
It goes uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah
There’s a sound running though my head
It goes……..
V3
When you woke me this morning
I asked you where you’d been
I said “We can hit the skyline
Show that we’re for real”
You pressed a finger-tip to my lips
And loaded up a magasine
“And the iron heel
D’you think it’ll just stop grinding?
Where’s our man of steel?
Where’s the breaking wheel?”
Chorus3
So I gotta know
Do we fight fire with fire, my love?
Must we build the flames up higher, my love?
Or should we just let it go?
I gotta know
Chorus4
Will time build something stronger, my love?
Do we just hold on for longer, my love?
Or do we just let it blow?
Outro
Cos there’s a sound running through my head
It goes uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah
Cos there’s a sound running through my head
It goes uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah
Cos there’s a sound running through my head
It goes uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah, uh-uh-aah
Cos there’s a sound running through my head
It goes .…..
