lyrics

FUTURE FIRE

Let's build a house on shaky ground
and laugh when it falls apart
let's build our lives on well dressed lies
and laugh when it breaks our hearts

Then somebody asked me
what's the point of building something
if you know you're just gonna blow it up
LET'S BLOW IT UP!

horn solo!

Let's hold our heavy heads above this dread
and TRY IF WE CAN TO LOOK UP
let's keep our days in a happy haze
and laugh when the clouds break up

BUT EVEN WHEN THE CLOUDS BREAK
I only see a few stars
AND EVEN IN AN EARTHQUAKE
I only crash a few cars
AND EVEN AT THE OCEAN
I only put my toes in
AND EVEN WHEN YOU ANSWER
I've only got this question

Then somebody asked me
what's the point of building something
if you know you're just gonna blow it up
LET'S BLOW IT UP!
But you can't run away
from future fire and decay
SO LET'S START BUILDING ANYWAY
