Lyrics
I was a fire once, I was an animal
I was seeing all the weight that I could pull
I’d run through the grass, I’d have your heart attack
I’d head for the exits without ever looking back
I was a look of terror on a haunted face
I was three of a kind, I was a pair, an ace
I was a troubled mind without a hiding place
A word on the wall, a sign you can’t erase
Now as the days get short, the weather’s getting colder
The money all dries up, the fire starts to smoulder
All the nurses’ mothers, all somebody’s daughters,
And we’re lost out there floating on the water
Another morning in the city by the lake
In your heart you know you’ve made a big mistake
They say your life boils down to just eleven days
Includes those that you’re born and all those you pass away
Now as the days get short, the weather’s getting colder
The money all dries up, the fire starts to smoulder
All the nurses’ mothers, all somebody’s daughters,
And we’re lost out there floating on the water
You have to life to wait
You have your life to waste
Now as the days get short, the weather’s getting colder
The money all dries up, the fire starts to smoulder
All the nurses’ mothers, all somebody’s daughters,
And we’re lost out there floating on the water
You may find in your life the ways you have to die
