[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It's a bit lik
e a trip, but
you hit it wit
h a slip of a
tongue
Like a whip, a
nd we're sinki
ng
It ain't cool
to be cool, th
ough you may t
hink it a laud
able tool
Of self evalua
tion, of ego c
ultivation
And I'm rollin
g my eyes like
the stones fo
r the lies
Is it really a
ll about the s
ize or just a
simple vice
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and it mak
es the news
Oh, ’cause it
sings the blue
s
[Chorus]
I feel the fir
e flare alight
inside me
Higher, so I c
an see
And aspire to
survive this f
ight in spite
of
Liars and trav
esty
Oh, fire
[Verse 2]
Did you think
that I'd blink
, that I'd go
and take the i
nk to your con
trol
That I'd sell
my soul
And does it ri
ng any bells t
hat it sells
That we're liv
ing out of she
lls in a shotg
un
If we couldn't
shoot, we'd h
ave to run
And finally th
e cerebral fan
tasy
Better genes a
nd machines, s
o we can die l
ooking like we
're teens
Like snapshot
scenes in smit
hereens
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and the on
es we choose
Oh, witch hunt
ing fools
[Chorus]
Fire, flare al
ight inside me
Higher, so I c
an see
And aspire to
survive this f
ight in spite
of
Liars and trav
esty
Oh, fire
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh, there it i
s in the news
again
Look, there it
goes singing
the blues agai
n (yeah)
Oh, there it i
s in the news
again
Look, there it
goes singing
the blues agai

There it is in
the news agai

Look, there it

the blues agai

There it is in

Look, there it

There it is in

Look, there it
goes singing

[Chorus]
Fire, flare al

Liars and trav

Oh, fire
[Outro]
Fire, return m

Tired, tired o
f me
Inspire the we
ary eyed to se
e the
Ire and irony
Oh, fire
