Liz Phair
Firewalker
My hopes are like embers lying
Around inside a fire bed
And your mind is a firewalker
It steps on them like
They are dead

But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful

Like JOY, Like JOY

Me, I'm like a wild flame
That catches on whatever's near
But your mind is a firewalker
It sets its course and never veers

But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful
Like JOY, Like JOY

Take offers from every side
And give my attentions
About anywhere
Well do I recognize my actions
I look like I'm so unaware
Like I don't care

But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful

Like JOY, Like JOY
