A
There is fire on the mountain,
Bm
and nobody seems to be on the run.

Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
Bm
and no one is'ah running.

A
I wake up in the morning...
Bm
tell you what I see on my TV screen : 
C#m
I see the blood of an innocent child,
Bm
and everybody's watching.

Now, I'm looking out of my window,
Bm
and what do I see ?
C#m
I see an army of soldiers that're
Bm
marching across the street, heh...

A
What did they say to make you so blind,
Bm

Bm
or for the gun you use in killing ? So...

chorus

verse:
Heh, Mister Loverman !
Can I get a chance to talk to you ?
'cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse,
and you don't know what you do. Oh... 

So little Lucy turns sixteen,
and like the movie she's been seeing,
she has a lover in her daddy.
She can't tell nobody...
'till she makes the evening news.

chorus

bridge:
One day the river will overflow,
and there'll be nowhere for us to go ;
and we will run, run...
wishing we had put out the fire, oh no...
