there was blazing prophetic fire falling from the sky
the embers burned my eye
i didn't need to ask why
the fire was falling from the sky
hot tears kept falling from my face
there was no one nearby to embrace
and when the night turned cool
without love life is cruel
so who's the fool?
look around
and tell me what you've found!
do you know more than your own name?
what the hell is this awful game?
there was blazing prophetic fire falling from the sky
the embers burned my eye
i didn't need to ask why
the fire was falling from the sky
noise kept banging in my ear;
i took a breath and watched storefronts disappear
and when the night turned cool
without love life is cruel
so who's the fool?
look around
and tell me what you've found!
do you know more than your own name?
what the hell is this awful game?
green skin, blue eye, black ball,
short gnome, abnormally tall,
female, male, long inhale, long exhale,
foul odor, sweet heart beat motor,
bearded and bald, unknown and called
cruel and just, polished and rust
reinvented and bust, fresh air and dust.
