Controlled Burn
Burn
Left me out
A hound ungroomed
With one nigh moon
I was consumed
I howled to it
Oh, I was loud
In drinking rooms
And dim saloons
When I found you
I found you wounded
But you wore your heart like a lady
And I lit your smokes like a man
Burn
Gathered 'round
When eyes adjusted
In fire we trusted
Tending to a bed of kindle
I stoked it on and on
When dry wind roused
Our hearts unready
It painted red with orange hands
And a brush more hot than what we want
All around we just danced
So drunk upon the lawn
And you danced the steps of a lady
And I tried to lead like a man
The bells only ring in emergency
There's hazard in heat to discern
In a controlled burn
When we were found
Our molars made
The sorry case
"Where goes our boy?"
"Where goes our girl?"
Our fathers cried
I never heard
And the bells only ring in emergency
There's hazard in heat to discern
It warms and it dances
It speaks out of turn and it runs
Controlled burn
Left me out
A hound ungroomed
With one nigh moon
I was consumed
I howled to it
Oh, I was loud
In drinking rooms
And dim saloons
When I found you
I found you wounded
But you wore your heart like a lady
And I lit your smokes like a man
Burn
Gathered 'round
When eyes adjusted
In fire we trusted
Tending to a bed of kindle
I stoked it on and on
When dry wind roused
Our hearts unready
It painted red with orange hands
And a brush more hot than what we want
All around we just danced
So drunk upon the lawn
And you danced the steps of a lady
And I tried to lead like a man
The bells only ring in emergency
There's hazard in heat to discern
In a controlled burn
When we were found
Our molars made
The sorry case
"Where goes our boy?"
"Where goes our girl?"
Our fathers cried
I never heard
And the bells only ring in emergency
There's hazard in heat to discern
It warms and it dances
It speaks out of turn and it runs
Controlled burn
