Smoke without fires

Come on in, my weary friend the welcome here is endless

These fears of yours like painted whores they will not stay the night

If all your life, you've done what's right, don't say you felt obliged

Come along use your timid tongue, too shy to tell your story

This pain in you so far removed from anything you've known

So I won't condone another moan, not when everything is fine

So in a drought learn to dance

And pray the dead will return

And dream of smoke without fire

Just come see me again when it burns

Somewhere here along the way, well I was lead astray

By a wolf in no ones clothing it was a brilliant disguise

And I forgot that life existed I thought it was just some kind of game

That's what brings me to your doorstep

Though I don't know why I came today

Standing still in the dust, given up on the rain

And as for smoke without fire, I've already laid in the flame

I've already laid in the flame, brother be afraid of flames

Brother be afraid of flames, oh, please brother be afraid of flames

(Well, I ain't afraid of flames, I ain't afraid of flames)

Brother be afraid of flames

(I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid)

Brother be afraid of flames
