Simple Fires Songtext
von Alex Nicol

I don′t want to throw away
My plastic castle sculpture
I glued it to the pavement
They pile up like jungle gyms
For kids to come and play
What are you trying to say
Take their fun away

But oh now I'm getting sick
Watching all the roses turn to bricks
Simple fires can be mended
But not the kind that′s burning up in me


We all deserve our sculptures
Shining with the sheen
Of nature's most pristine, nutritious fluid
And we won't say we′re sorry
We won′t write a goodbye note
The farther we come
The closer we get to destruction

But oh now I'm getting sick
Watching all the roses turn to bricks
Simple fires can be mended
But not the kind that′s burning up in me

And oh now I'm getting sick
Watching all the roses turn to bricks
Simple fires can be mended
But not the kind that′s burning up in me
