After the fire, the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smolder and the soul always yearns After the fire, the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire And then the sound of a breaking window And the scream of a tire
And then the sound of a distant gun And the cry of a hungry child The night is hot but nothing is gonna stop This gang going wild
After the fire, the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smolder but the soul always yearns After the fire, the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white There ain't no color in memories He rode his brother's Harley across the TV While I was laughing at Dom De Luise
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes And I'm crying and I'm joking I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire, the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smolder and the soul always yearns After the fire, the fire still burns
Raging through the pain Blackening the promises the tears and the rain The fire sill burn till the wind begins to turn And it all begins again
After the fire, the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smolder and the soul always yearns After the fire, the fire still burns, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smolder and the soul always yearns After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns After the fire, the fire still burns After the fire, the fire still burns After the fire
