Roy Nathanson — Fire Suite 1 (feat. Elvis Costello & Cyrus Chestnut) lyrics

Lyrics

I remember that dance
On the roof of my car
When St. Lucy’s mad torch
Took away our best bar
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the heat
Came the fire
Ember glow lagered ash
I was pissed as a fart
Stricken some dumb plum numb
We was broken at heart
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat like a choir
Came the smoke
In the night
Came the light
Came the fire
