Steve Kilbey - Fireman lyrics

Fireman, I didn't expect to see you again The fever burning, hatred in flames I guess we just keep playing these games Hush now baby, don't you cry Momma gonna build you a great big fire And if that fire can't melt your bones You won't be smoking all alone It's the fireman A heat haze summer falls all over this land The dry roots crackle, the smoldering sun Now you've got to suffer for everyone Hush now baby don't you weep Daddy's gonna get you well away from this heat And if that heat still singe your hair There's just one man who can take you there And if that man has turned to ash Daddy's gonna change things with the lure of cash And if that money can't soothe your burns There's just one man who can make you learn It's the fireman I didn't expect to see you again The fever burning, hatred in flames I guess we just keep playing these games Fireplace, fireside Fire when you see the whites of their eyes Fire ahead, fire below Fire such-and-such and so-and-so Firewood, firewheel Fire extinguished, fire and steel Fire a shot when you need to feel Fire one up for after the meal
