Fire

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
