Controlled Burn

Burn Left me out a hound ungroomed With one nigh moon I was consumed I howled to it, oh, I was loud In drinking rooms and dim saloons When I found you I found you wounded But you wore your heart like a lady And I lit your smokes like a man Burn Gathered 'round When eyes adjusted in fire we trusted Tending to a bed of kindle I stoked it on and on When dry wind roused Our hearts unready It painted red with orange hands And a brush more hot than what we want All around we just danced So drunk upon the lawn And you danced the steps of a lady And I tried to lead like a man The bells only ring in emergency There's hazard in heat to discern In a controlled burn When we were found Our molars made The sorry case "Where goes our boy?" "Where goes our girl?" Our fathers cried I never heard And the bells only ring in emergency There's hazard in heat to discern It warms and it dances It speaks out of turn and it runs Controlled burn
