The Fire Song

lyrics

You want to build a fire
then you're going to need some wood
an empty case of busch beer
may work good
keep that tinder bundle dry and off of the ground
made of the wood fibers and all the other shit you found

Hey, buddy, do you think you could lend a spark
this fire building has gotten to be an art
it's a calm ritual that I seem to love a lot
it is a get away to stare into when I am feeling shot

You want to build a fire
then you're going to need a hole
something deep and wide enough
for the bed of coals
throw on all the boughs
and the heavy trucks
let the smoke chase you around
breathe it in your lungs

You want to build a fire
then you have to treat it right
and tend to all its needs
throughout the night
when the sun comes up
and you are cold
just throw another piece of wood
down on the coals
