Lyrics

Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
Playin' cold music on the barroom floor
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Well

Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Almost ablaze but you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a living, we all gotta eat
But you're here alone, there's no one to compеte
If mercy's a business, I wish it for you
Morе than just ashes when your dreams come true
Well

Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Long distance runner, what you holding out for?
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
The flame from your stage has spread to the door
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more that you take
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake
Well

Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!

[Instrumental]
