After the fire, the fire still burns
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking

Now I'm cycling all my video tapes

And the scream of a tire

And the cry of a hungry child
After the fire, the fire still burns
There ain't no color in memories
The fire sill burn till the wind begins to turn
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The heart grows older but never ever learns

And then the sound of a distant gun
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns
While I was laughing at Dom De Luise

After the fire, the fire still burns
Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
After the fire, the fire still burns

And I'm crying and I'm joking
The heart grows older but never ever learns

And it all begins again
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns

He rode his brother's Harley across the TV
After the fire, the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
Raging through the pain

And then the sound of a breaking window
I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire, the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white

After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
After the fire
The night is hot but nothing is gonna stop
The memories smolder but the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
This gang going wild
