Long distance runner, what you standing there for? Get up, get off, get out of the door You're playing cold music on the bar room floor Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to stay on the beat You say it's a living, we all gotta eat But you're here alone, there's no one to compete If mercy's in business, I wish it for you More than just ashes when your dreams come true Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Baby's in scarlet, her shackles in gray If loves to love she's got it salted away Out of the rat trap and under the wire Out of the frying pan and into the fire Put it down heavy, strip it down lean Got to lay it down dirty and play it back clean Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fireman, fireman, call off your dog This isn't a blaze, it's just a hog in the log Cut up in sections, squirming alive Lost to the world on that fifty-cent jive There's a fire on the mountain, running around What doesn't go up can never come down Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Long distance runner, what you holding out for Caught in slow motion in a dash to the door The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor You gave all you had, why you want to give more? The more that you give, the more it will take To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain Fire, fire on the mountain
