Fire
Fire and rock and roll
Fire and rock and roll
Like Rome
Like Rome
1952
Pre-anything
Pre-almost anything
Fired like an arrow in a bow
You aim low
You aim low
Fired like an arrow in a bow
You aim low
You aim low
You aim
Just one
arrow in my
Just one
you shot it yourself
And no-one sees a thing
Fire and rock and roll
And no-one sees a thing
Fire and rock and roll
Like Rome
