Daddy  I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
There  ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.
 I'm not here to  know the things I can not do.
 We've seen the outcome  of the boys who didn't  fly.
 That road outside  that'll you've been taking home forever,
 that'll be the same  road I take when I depart.
 Those charcoal veins  that hold this chosen land together,
 may twist and turn  but somewhere deep there is a heart
 Playing with Fire.
 You know you're going to hurt  somebody tonight.
 When you're  out on a wire,
 you know you're playing  with  fire.
 perhaps this calling  is the channel of invention.
 I will not blush  if others see it as a crime.
 However dangerous  the road, however distant.
 These things won't  compromise the will of the design.
 Ten thousand demons  hammer down with every foot step.
 Ten thousand angles  rush the wind against my back.
 This church of  mine may not be recognized by stepol,
 that doesn't mean  that I will walk without a god.
 rolling river of truth,  can you spare me a sip?
 The holy fountain of youth,  has been reduced to a drip.
 I've got this burning belief,
 in salvation in love,
 this notion may be naive,
 but when  push comes to shove,
 I will till this ground.
 You know you're gonna hurt  somebody tonight.
 Out on a wire.
 I might not get there.
 This little town,  this little house,
 they seem to be leaning  in the wrong direction.
 I'm not afraid of you no more.
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh  (2x)
 Playing with Fire.
 You know you're going to hurt  somebody tonight.
 When you're  out on a wire,
 you know you're playing  with  fire.
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhh
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
 End on
