Plays with Fire - Cloud

I’m too tired to play with the flames

I thought I could but it’s hard for me

Well fire is life, and life is good

So many nights when it lit her room

And oh so tired but can’t slow down

I hear good music but drown it out

With «gotta do’s,» and vanities

And little fires keep on warming me

Well every man hears his call to be

A mountain’s height, or a lover’s need

I heard it roar from the fire’s place

And can see now how it’s deafened me

And you’re too drunk to give a fuck

You got that way because you care too much

Then a good wave came to dance with me

Then a bad wave came

To take me away from the present for days

When I woke I was lost in a terrible day dream

Of anarchist texts

And my parents are ageing

And oh Nicole sleeps on lavender

You’d lose a limb to be there with her

On a good wave’s lips, she came to me

We shared the fire
