Fire on the Mountain Live at Springfield Civic Center Arena Springfield MA May 11 1978 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get on, get out of the door
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Long distance runner, with one foot out the door
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
You gavе all you had, why you wanna give more?
The morе that you give, the more it will take
That thin line beyond which you really can't fake
[Chorus]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Outro]
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
[Instrumental]
