[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
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire, fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Long distance runner, what you holding out for?
Go big in a fall to the floor
The flame from your stage spread to the door
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake
Whoa, oh
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire, fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental]
