Fire on the Mountain

Mickey Hart, Robert Hunter

Long distance runner – What you standin' there for?
Get up, get out – Get out of the door
You're playing cold music on the ballroom floor
Drowned in your laughter – And dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches loose on the town
It takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain

Almost ablaze – Still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to say on the beat
You say it's a living – We all gotta eat
You're here alonе – There no one to compеte
If mercy's a business – I wish it were you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true

Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain

Long distance runner – What you holdin' out for
Caught in slow motion – In a dash for the door
The flame from your stage – Has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had – Why you wanna give more
They more you give – The more it'll take
To the thin line beyond which – You really, you really can't fake

Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain
Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain
