Fire with Rain

We fight fire with

We fight fire with

We fight fire with rain

We draw crazy constellations

On old familiar maps

We build roads to the future

But we come here from the past

We make daily sacrifice

To every god we’ve resurrected

We move like new age shamans

To cure the disconnected

Guided by angles

As we navigate these devils

Always searching for meaning

Always searching for the levels

Here we are hawking magic

To the disbelieving masses

With a pink neon sign

Lit by vaudeville’s ashes

We fight fire with

We fight fire with

We fight fire with rain

We peel off one mask

Just to slide into another

And we reflect to the world

The foolish folly of struggle

We beseech you to think

Because thoughts can make love

We invite you to forget

Sometimes thinking is too much

We rub wood together

And wage war with the fire

Like cultural warriors

With a nomad’s empire

The need swells from inside

There was never a choice

You are obliged to sing loudly

If you are given a voice

If the chaos doesn’t kill us

These songs my just heal us, save us

We fight fire with

We fight fire with

We fight fire with rain
