After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
| | 2x
after the fire the fire still burns.
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
and then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tyre
and then the sound of distant gun and the cry of a hungry child.
The night is hot
but nothing's gonna stop
this ga---ng going wild.
After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
| | 2x
after the fire the fire still burns.
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
there ain't no colour in memories.
He rode his brother's Harley acrosss the TV
while I was laughing at Dom deLuise.
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking.
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking,
I've gotta stop smoking.
After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
after the fire
the fire still burns, raging through the pain,
blackening the promises, the tears and the rain.
The fire will burn
'til the wind begins to turn
and it all begins again.
After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
after the fire the fire still burns,
the fire still burns,
| | 2x
After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
after the fire the fire still burns.
