Firewalker - Liz Phair

My hopes are like embers lying

Around inside a fire bed

And your mind is a firewalker

It steps on them like

They are dead

But I can grow

In spite of all you know

You might not

Recognize me tomorrow

Yes, I can change

In spite of all they say

Become something strange

And beautiful

Like JOY, Like JOY

Me, I’m like a wild flame

That catches on whatever’s near

But your mind is a firewalker

It sets its course and never veers

But I can grow

In spite of all you know

You might not

Recognize me tomorrow

Yes, I can change

In spite of all they say

Become something strange

And beautiful

Like JOY, Like JOY

Take offers from every side

And give my attentions

About anywhere

Well do I recognize my actions

I look like I’m so unaware

Like I don’t care

But I can grow

In spite of all you know

You might not

Recognize me tomorrow

Yes, I can change

In spite of all they say

Become something strange

And beautiful

Like JOY, Like JOY
