Giving back my hand-me-downs
Taking off this paper crown
Tank her up 'cause I'm goin' down
Down to the fire tonight
Handin' back what I've been paid
Smashing all that I have made
No one's comin' - I won't be Saved
Down to the fire tonight
I've been ridin' these dusty roads, knowing what's waiting for me
We've been haulin' these heavy loads, wondering when we shall be
free
The tale of a tailer, a joker, and inhaler, a traveler of the Seven
Seas
The churn of a sea slap the rocks of a key on a shore where we long
to be.
Takin' off my worn out shoes
Play my harp and sing some blues
Listen to some ancient news
Down to the fire tonight
Place my hands behind your head
On your knees beside that bed
We'll never know when we are dead
Down to the fire tonightI've
been standin' upon these rocks, looking across the sea
We've been woken by countless clocks stealing away our dreams
A song of the jailer the porter the sailor the singer waiting for
his fee
The turn of a key in the lock of a door to a dream that will set him
free
I'm goin' down to the fire tonight
down to the fire tonight
We're gonna sing our songs and dance around that light...
Yeah, staring at that glowing light
Swirling sparks and stars so bright
Set aflame your inner sight
Down at the fire tonight
And let me curl in our embrace
Watch the firelight on your face
Soon enough we'll leave no trace
Where once the fire burned bright
I'm goin' down to the fire tonight
Down to the fire tonight
A moth casting shadows in the light
Down to the fire
down to the fire
down to the fire tonight
