Fire on the Mountain (Live at Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, April 1, 1988) The Grateful Dead
[Verse 1]
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
Flame from your stage spread to the floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Well
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Almost ablaze but you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a living, we all gotta еat
You're here alonе, there's no one to compete
If mercy's in business, I give it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
Whoa
