Album: Ordinary Riches (2009)

The Fire Song

Brit was right when she said we should worry the
Boys outside ran in a hurry
Mom held tight to the ground it was made of grass
Then the house burnt down so fast

School at night lead to heads filled with blurry the
Games of pride were storm-like in there
Fury I made light of the in picked labs
As the house burnt down so fast

And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten
And as you pry
I thought that I'd forgotten

Grace all the papers, the story of the neighbors
the house burned down so fast
late to wake, in office
explaining to the bosses
the house burned down the past

To keep our peace and fix the place
You stayed in hotels
To keep a peace and stay sane
I went to Victoria's

Well you stayed in hotels
You stayed in hotels

Why I ran away I'll never know
Why I ran away I'll never know
Why I ran away I'll never know
Never ever know
Never ever know
