Fire on the Mountain

Mr. Marley natural dread

Roots of Creation, hey

Long distance runner, what you standing there for?

Get up, get out, get out of the door

You're playing cold music on the barroom floor

Drowned in your laughter and you're dead to the core

There's a dragon with matches and he's loose on the town

Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat

It takes all you got just to stay on the beat

You say it's a living, an' we all gotta eat, yeah

You're here all alone, and there's no one to compete

If mercy's a business, well I wish it for you

It's more than just ash when your dreams come true

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Long distance runner, what you holding out for

Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door

The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor

You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?

The more that you give, it's the more it will take

To the thin line beyond, which you really can't fake

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

I said fire, fire on the mountain

Yeah!

An' it's ya fire on the mountain, can't control

What dis is means to man

Oh yeah

Hear me now

No fire from the mountain come from the sound

Of the lightning front and we can jump

And a great now fallen place get up

And the moon she ablaze like a melting pot

Dey put out they nan, they bring in the can

I see Mario all american chat

Now search them bigger than the death star, man

Bonne nuit, I'll follow to the mountain top
