Fire on the Mountain (Live at Cornell University, May 8, 1977)
[Verse 1]
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You're 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
[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]
Long distance runner, one foot at the door
Caught in slow motion, fall to the floor
Drown in laughter and drew to the door
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
That thin line beyond which you really can't fake
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental]
