The Rutles

Just Like Fire Would

The Rutles


One night in a motel room 
Eyes cast like steel 
I drank the wine they had left on my table 
I knew the morning was too far 

I smoked my last pack of foreign cigarettes 
I stay only to defy 
Ihe night was dark and the land is cold 
It's frozen right to the bone 

And just like fire would, I burn up 
Just like fire would 
Just like fire would, I burn up

Five hundred miles I have gone today 
Tomorrow it's five hundred more 
Outside my window the world passes by 
It's stranger than a dream 

I go to work and I earn my pay load 
And the sweat, it falls to the ground 
I see you now but we may never meet again, child 
The ice is hanging on the door
