Coversong originally made famous by The Grateful Dead
Written by lyricist Robert Hunter and composed by drummer Mickey Hart
B A long distance runner, what you standin' there for? B A get up get out, get out of the door B A your playin' cold music on the barroom floor B A your drowned in your laughter and dead to the core B A there's a dragon with matches that's loose in the town B A takes a whole pail of water, just to cool him down chorus B A fire, fire on the mountain B A fire, fire on the mountain B A fire, fire on the mountain B A fire, fire on the mountain almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat it takes all you got, just to stay on the beat you say its a living, we all gotta eat but your in here alone, there's no one to compete if mercy's in business i wish for you more than just ashes when your dreams come true chorus - JAM long distance runner, what you holdin' out for caught in slow motion, in a dash for the door the flame from your stage, has now spread to the floor you gave all you had, why you want to give more the more that you give, the more it will take to the thin line beyond which, you really can't fake chorus
