Janiva Magness – Fireman Lyrics

Blues

No forest my life come
And where I thought I'd be, I've been from
Firemanded junky
Slaved almost free
I get scared sometimes that I haven't come that far
I'm still waiting for a fix most times
At least I'm nowhere all the fires are

And I put on my one by one
Like the good girl that I am
Then I toss my words like cigarettes
Start 'em up again

Call me a fireman
Stand back, watch me go
If people then get burned so bad
It be a hell of a show
Just like a fireman
They're different somehow and I think you know
I think you know

I'll follow these I see
From where I'm sitting in this chair, I see
Every place I've ever been
Every face, every stare

I get tired sometimes
And I just don't sleep at night
Every time I close my eyes
There's fires there and they're burning bright

So I put on my one by one
And I finally get some sleep
But tomorrow they'll be back again
Guess their mind to keep

Call me a fireman
Stand back, watch me go
If people then get burned so bad
It be a hell of a show, hell of a show now
Just like a fireman
They're different somehow and I think you know
I hope you know
Yeah, I think you know
