Gone to See the Fire

he hadn't been talking
walked out of the way
just sat there smoking
watching the flames

what's in the box?
you'd better talk.
she thought she knew him well
'til they had gone to see the fire

when the roof fell in
he lit up again
she thought she knew him some
'til they had gone to see the fire

friends with her brother
he started to call
now it's been two months
summer to fall

a bird on his finger
smoke in his clothes
tapping his ashes
like sending a code

You gotta tell me why
we're first to arrive
she thought she knew him well
'til they had gone to see the fire

when the roof fell in
he lit up again
she thought she knew him some
'til they had gone to see the fire

'til they had gone to see the fire
'til they had gone to see the fire
'til they had gone to see the fire
'til they had gone to see the fire
