After the Fire

After the fire, the fire still burns

While I was laughing at Dom De Luise
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
And the scream of a tire
And it all begins again
The heart grows older but never ever learns

The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
I've gotta stop smoking
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns

After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns

There ain't no color in memories
He rode his brother's Harley across the TV
After the fire, the fire still burns
The memories smolder but the soul always yearns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
The fire sill burn till the wind begins to turn

And then the sound of a breaking window
After the fire, the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
Raging through the pain
And I'm crying and I'm joking
The heart grows older but never ever learns
This gang going wild
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns

And the cry of a hungry child
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire

Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes
And then the sound of a distant gun
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
The night is hot but nothing is gonna stop
After the fire, the fire still burns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking
After the fire, the fire still burns
