Fire With Rain
We fight fire with
We fight fire with
We fight fire with rain.
We draw crazy constellations
On old familiar maps
We build roads to the future
But we come here from the past.
We make daily sacrifice
To every god we've resurrected,
We move like new age shamans
To cure the disconnected.
Guided by angles
As we navigate these devils
Always searching for the meaning
Always searching for the levels,
And here we are hawking magic
To the disbelieving masses
With a pink neon sign
Lit by vaudeville's ashes.
We fight fire with
We fight fire with
We fight fire with rain.
We peel off one mask
Just to slide into another,
We reflect to the world
The foolish folly of struggle.
We beseech you to think
Because thoughts can make love,
We invite you to forget,
Sometimes thinking is too much.
We rub wood together,
We wage war with the fire
Like cultural warriors
With a nomad's empire.
The need swells from inside
There was never a choice,
You are obliged to sing loudly
If you are given a voice.
If the chaos doesn't kill us
These songs might just heal us, save us.
We fight fire with
We fight fire with
We fight fire with rain.
