Back In The Fire

Dreams, schemes and everythings

Fill the dusty corners of your mind -

As cars, boats and aeroplanes

Just remind you of a better time



As love's hopes and everyone's

Anyone worth a minute of your time -

When unhampered by the agents,

Of the governors of the faceless so opaque,

As bare tree's and winter winds

Just confine you to - a bitter place

A time you can't face-

A peace of your mind



We should be playing in the sunshine

Happy to be part of everything,

Not handled, greedy handlers

Brought down and destroyed

By their own ways-

Liars! Liars! - smoking on pipes.

Dimwit fires

Who just throw it in their way-

And how's your father today

Was he caught in the rain ?

Waiting on a bed

Putting up with the pain

Your three wishes expire

Now your back in the fire

Lock the genie in the shed

Put a pistol to his head



Not handcuffed to some wanker

Who doesn't know me

(and doesn't see (that) our lives are made-

(on) from all the efforts,

Of the masses,

And all the people who deserve a better - fate



Than a time you can't trace

No peace in your mind

A time you can't place

Now your back in the race-

Your three wishes expired

Now your back in the fire

(your three wishes expired -

Now your back in the fire)



See you just can't play

Now without a say

Always got to be the man

Always got to have the plan-

It doesn't run that way

Into the ether you'll say

(your three wishes expired -

Now your back in the fire)



Your three wishes expired -

Now your back in the fire
