The Day The “Conducator” Died (An Xmas Song) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am nurturant
Compassionate, caring
◦ Not so much
◦ Very much
I am out-going
Socially active
◦ Not so much
◦ Very much
My ideal partner
Should be assertive
◦ Not so much
◦ Very much

[Chorus]
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire

[Verse 2]
Most of the chaos
In my life is caused by
◦ Internal factors
◦ External factors
Faced with decision
I am most likely to
◦ Pick and choose quickly
◦ Explore all options
If I were a garden
I would most resemble
◦ A wildflower garden
◦ An English garden

[Chorus]
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire

[Bridge]
When you turn in your sleep
Will you roll across the path?
When you turn in your sleep
Will you roll?
When you turn in your sleep
Will you roll across the path?
When you turn in your sleep
Will you roll?

[Verse 3]
I have control
Over desires and temptations
◦ Not so much
◦ Very much
I enjoy being bound
By obligations
◦ Not so much
◦ Very much
The mad dogs swarming
From her groin
◦ You noticed
◦ Didn't notice

[Chorus]
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
And nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
Nobody waited for fire
