Version 1[Verse 1] B A Long distance runner, what you standin' there for? B A Get up, get out, get out of the door B A You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor B A Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core. B A There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town B A Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down. [Hook] B A Fire! fire on the mountain! [Verse 2] B A Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat B A It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. B A You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat B A But you're here alone, there's no one to compete. B A If mercy's a business, I wish it for you B A More than just ashes when your dreams come true. [Hook] B A Fire! fire on the mountain! [Verse 3] B A Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for? B A Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door. B A The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor B A You gave all you had. why you wanna give more? B A The more that you give, the more it will take B A To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake. [Hook] B A Fire! fire on the mountain!
