Drop fuel for fire, the mind's wide open
Own sky for miles, the filter's overloaded
The seas of Cain and when again
Expand, contract, my time is fleeting
Fleeting
Red embers glow above the front yard
Yeah, there's a chance we're out of chances, darling
I really thought I learned a lot
The years go by and I'm still reeling
Reeling
Watch the hills of flames climbing higher
Give it back, your home is your pyre
If I don't care, she's taking it all away
So, on to kids and on their teachers
Please prime the altar, let the preachers at it
I had a friend who went to war
We got him home but he's still bleeding
Bleeding
Give me shapeless beauty and glory
The blue center tells me a story
About the time a fool fell in love again
Take my strength and take my ambition
Take my hand and burn my contrition
I'm the fool who's falling in love again
Grant me power, grant me your mission
Keep me level, give me your secret
To free yourself from falling away again
Watch the hills of flames climbing higher
Give it back, your home is your pyre
If I don't care, she's taking it all away
