LYRICS
I heard the news today
The newscaster did say,
“You can’t tame the flame.”
It’ll never be the same
She said:
Old Lady Leary
Left the lantern in the shed
I shook my head and said:
“I’m growing weary
Of knowing dead.”
On the news the next day
“Wildfires did have their way.”
You can’t tame the flame
We’ll never be the same
No knews / news in a big way
The flames dance on and play
You can’t tame the flame
She’s the master of our game
