Grace Under Fire Songtext
von Quarterflash

I′ve seen 'em run
I′ve seen 'em broken
I've seen ′em fall
Without a word even spoken

Oh, all it takes is a little fire
Mm-hm, well they
Watch your irons
They learn your weakness
They turn it up
And you know the lean is on

Oh, the lean is on
Oh, sooner or later
You′re gonna catch heat
There's no use in running away
Everything hurries to be eaten or eat, they say
Oh, Papa was right
Nothing rates higher
The coolest of cool
Is grace under fire


Back in the shadows
There′s the law of the city
Work on the one who shows the first sign of pity
I know, I know
Well, they
Knock on your door
They call out your number
And your legs won't move
And your heart starts running
You′ll know, you'll know

Oh, Papa was right
Nothing rates higher
The coolest of cool
Is grace under fire

Oh, you gotta be diamond
You gotta be steel
The lucky have eyes in the heavens
They laugh like the devil
And burn like a torch in the rain
Oh, but Jesus was cool
No one bet higher
The measure of heart
Is grace under fire
