After the
Firefrom the

Under a
Raging
Moon"[
Unpunctuated, as that's the way the liner notes had it. ---

After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
And then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tyre
And then the sound of a distant gun and the cry of a hungry child
The night is hot
But nothing's gonna stop
This gang going wild
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I saw
Matt
Dillon in black and white there ain't no colour in memories
He rode his brother's
Harley across the
TV while
I was laughing at
Dom de
Luise.
Now
I'm cycling all my video tapes,
I'm crying and
I'm joking
I've gotta stop drinking
I've gotta stop thinking
I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
The fire still burns, raging through the pain
Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
The fire will burn'
Til the wind begins to turn
And it all begins again
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
