Fire on the Mountain Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Long distance runner, what you standin′ there for?
Come up and playin', playin′ out of the door
Playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches loose on the town
A whole pail of water just to cool him down, oh

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 could ever do?
Caught in slow motion, he falls on the floor
You gave all you had, all you had
Gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
That thin line beyond which you really can′t fake

Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain

Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain

(Call me the) fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain


Thank you
We′re gonna take a short break
We'll be back in just a few minutes
So, everybody hang loose
