Pere Ubu
Around the Fire
Don't gather by the river
Maybe no one will understand
Don't race down to the sea
You don't want to know
What's been washed up on the sand

Don't gather round the fire
Don't run into the smoke
Don't worry baby
It wasn't anyone we even know
It's not anywhere that we'd want to go

Don't worry about the blood
It rains like that everyday
Don't worry about them frogs
And mud and worms
I've seen it rain like that before

Stand by
Stand by
Stand by your man
