there was a fire burning in us
we put it out with alcohol and cigarettes
we put it out with late nights
and bum fights
we put it out with our bodies making love under starlight
oh and how that fire burned
while we yearned
for forbidden things our parents never tell.
there was a fire burning in us, and we walked through hell.
there was a fire burning,
in our eyes you saw it glimmering
ya we threw up,
but we grew up,
and now the fire’s only simmering.
