[Verse 1]
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
Playin' cold music on the barroom 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, and we all gotta eat
But you're herе alone, there's no onе to compete
If mercy's a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
Well
